Our M&A work in 2003 again put us among the top legal advisers in the rankings compiled by both Thompson Financial and Mergerstat, and our General Motors/News Corp. deal was one of Mergerstat's top 10 M&A deals for 2003. In 2002, The American Lawyer listed the Pharmacia deal as the top international transaction; in 2001, Cadwalader was listed by Mergerstat among the top law firm legal advisers; and for 2000, Cadwalader ranked among the leading M&A counsel to both principals and investment advisers in The American Lawyer's Corporate Scorecard. We also represented participants in three of the five largest M&A transactions in the world in 1999.
