Banco BTG Pactual leads TTR’s Latin America financial advisory ranking by deal volume for the first five months of 2015, up from its second-place position at the same time last year, with 12 transactions worth just over USD 10bn combined. Banco Santander follows with nine transactions worth nearly USD 6bn, compared to its seven deals worth USD 657m at the end of May, 2014. The top two nudged last year’s leader, Banco Itaú BBA, to third place in the ranking, with its eight deals worth a combined USD 5.2bn. Banco Bradesco comes in at a solid fourth in the five-month ranking, advising on five deals worth more than USD 9bn, up from the number six spot with USD 3.55bn in transactions at this point last year. Pulling up the rear of the top-10 at the end of May, Deutsche Bank’s three deals are worth USD 10bn in aggregate, putting it only slightly behind the leading bank in Latin America by combined value. The German bank fell five spots in the ranking by volume, only to more than double its combined deal value from its six transactions worth a respectable USD 3.6bn at the close of May, 2014.

 

Legal Advisory – Year to Date (YTD)

 

Jones Day holds a wide lead in TTR’s Latin America legal advisory ranking with 15 deals worth a combined USD 2.4bn, nearly doubling its eight deals at the end of May last year, which had put it in second place behind Baker & McKenzie. Baker & McKenzie then had 15 deals worth USD 1.7bn; now it has advised on five worth USD 653m. Baker & McKenzie is tied with Holland & Knight in second place by volume, the latter falling to third only on account of the firm’s lower combined deal value of USD 295m. Sullivan & Cromwell, fourth in the chart by volume with four deals, leads by combined value of USD 4.78bn. Sullivan was absent from the top-10 at this point in 2014, as was Holland & Knight.

 

Brazil Ranking – 2015

Financial Advisory – Year to Date (YTD)

 

With Brazilian banks dominating the leading positions of TTR’s Latin America financial advisory chart, the corresponding Brazil ranking looks much the same in the top slots.

PwC has advanced from eighth at the end of May last year, to place fifth advising on four deals worth USD 60.24m combined in the first five months of 2015. The trailing five in the top-10 chart all had three deals under their belts, and were accordingly weighted by aggregate deal value, a battle easily won by Rothschild and its USD 8.67bn in combined transactions.

Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados leads the pack of law firms vying for supremacy in TTR’s Brazil legal advisory ranking at the close of May, 2015, with 18 deals worth an impressive 11bn.
