A Joint Event With:

Jones Day is one of the world’s leading law firms. With more than 2,400 lawyers in 32 offices throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, we represent a wide range of clients, including a majority of the Fortune Global 500. Our unwavering commitment to clients has repeatedly earned us the “Number One for Client Service” ranking awarded by BTI Consulting Group. Since the inception of the BTI Client Service Ranking eight years ago, Jones Day is the only firm to earn top ratings every year.

Our M&A and Private Equity Practices are among the largest of any firm—we have advised principals in more than 1,000 transactions in the past two years. Our practice involves public and private companies, private equity firms, and financial advisors in a variety of transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures; mergers-of-equals; leveraged buyouts and build-ups; bankruptcy buyouts and other distressed M&A transactions; joint ventures and strategic alliances; and contested takeovers. For 35 consecutive quarters, Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg have ranked us number one for Number of M&A Deals Worldwide.

Jones Day has a history of forward-thinking and innovation. In the 1970s, we were the chief architects of the “golden parachute” and state takeover legislation; today, we are reinventing what M&A really is in light of the current market. As the principal outside M&A lawyers for most of our major clients, we know how to develop effective strategies, staff and manage transactions efficiently, and handle complex and demanding matters.

Evaluating the strategic and financial consequences of a transaction has never been more complex or more crucial. Because we are fully integrated across offices and practices, we can draw from our leading antitrust, employee benefits, environmental, intellectual property, labor, tax, and other practice groups to bring together multijurisdictional and multidisciplinary teams tailored to the specific demands of any transaction.
