Mergermarket has just released its first quarter 2007 M&A league tables, and as reported by London's Legal Week New York firms Sullivan & Cromwell and Davis Polk & Wardwell have "stormed to the top." Other Manhattan firms to feature in the top 10 include Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz (fourth), Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (fifth), Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom (seventh) and Cravath Swaine & Moore (10th). Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer was the highest placed UK firm in the table, placing 16th. However, Linklaters knocked its magic circle rival off the top spot of the European deal rankings. Freshfields placed second, and Clifford Chance was third.
