Simpson Thacher was recognized by Law360 as an M&A Group of the Year for 2015. The practice group was acknowledged for its work on some of 2015's biggest and most complex transactions including Dell Inc.’s record-breaking $67 billion acquisition of EMC Corp., Walgreens Boots Alliance $17.2 billion acquisition of Rite Aid and KeyCorp’s $4.1 billion acquisition of First Niagara Financial Group.

The Firm’s integrated approach of pulling in lawyers from different practice groups when executing a deal is recognized as helping Simpson Thacher to secure and advise on the most complex deals of the year. The M&A practice also extends across geographic regions and industries, which has helped solidify its reputation as a leader in the area. As Lee Meyerson, head of the M&A practice notes, “At least 25 to 30 percent of Simpson Thacher’s deal volume typically involves cross-border transactions, and many of the firm's clients have global operations.”
