If you want a job in M&A in Moscow, you should be working for Rothschild, Goldman Sachs, or VTB, or Nomura, or...Rabobank
M&A league tables for the first quarter are out.
Information provider Mergermarket has a league specific to the Russian market. We've reproduced it for your information below. As you can see, Rothschild was by far the biggest M&A player in Russia in the first quarter. Goldman didn't do too badly either.
Beyond that, the picture is blurred. VTB did well by volume, but not by value (and since the value of M&A deals dictates the fees earned by a bank, this isn't a good sign). Nomura and Rabobank were also big players.
