Corporate adviser rankings: clients by numbers

Slaughter and May has more UK listed company clients than any other firm, according to the latest Corporate Advisers Rankings Guide. 

The Magic Circle firm, which recently added a further three FTSE 250 clients to its roster, now advises 122 UK quoted companies―five more than its closest rival, Herbert Smith Freehills. Pinsent Masons also put in a strong showing in the rankings, released this week, not only advising the highest number of AIM-listed companies but also the most FTSE-listed energy (15 clients) and technology companies (ten clients).
