Bell Gully secures influential Asia-Pacific ranking

Bell Gully is one of only two New Zealand law firms to be ranked in mergermarket's league tables of legal advisers in the Asia-Pacific region for the first half of 2007.

Bell Gully is ranked 16th in the Asia-Pacific (ex-Japan) adviser league table for mergers and acquisitions deal volume, and is the only New Zealand firm to achieve a ranking.

Asia-Pacific M&A deals for the year to date total US$189.5 billion, up more than 18% on 2006.

In Australasia, Bell Gully is ranked 9th for mergers and acquisitions deal volume, and again is the only New Zealand firm to be named.
