With over £1.7bn worth of deals in 2010, the corporate group at Nabarro has jumped up the rankings of three of the top UK M&A League Tables and has also debuted on international listings.

Thomson Reuters ranks Nabarro 15th for UK mid-market M&A by deal count in 2010, a climb of 16 places, and 14th for UK small-cap M&A, up 19 places from the year before.

With a jump of 27 places, Bloomberg ranks Nabarro 18th for all UK deals while Experian Corpfin ranks Nabarro 11th for UK M&A by deal count.

The firm's corporate team has also been busy on an international stage ranking for the first time in the Thomson Reuters M&A tables for France, Italy, the Nordic Countries and India.

Iain Newman, Head of Corporate at Nabarro, said:

"These rankings demonstrate the great strides our corporate team has made over the last year. Nabarro has a growing reputation for M&A, not just for UK deals, but for transactions across Europe and beyond. We will be capitalising on this momentum during 2011 and will continue to invest in growing our corporate business."

Highlights in 2010 include advising RATP on the substantial acquisition of various transport interests across Europe and Virgin Healthcare's acquisition of Assura Medical.
