In Bloomberg’s report, the firm achieved the following lender adviser rankings:
- eighth in deal count and ninth in proceeds for U.S. syndicated loans;
- ninth in deal count and 10th in proceeds for U.S. leveraged loans; and
- 10th in deal count and proceeds for global syndicated loans.
McGuireWoods also earned strong lender adviser rankings in LSEG’s league tables:
