United States 2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report: Focus on Mergers & Acquisitions, Capital Markets, and Private Equity Practice for the AMLAW 10 to AMLAW 200 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Valeo 2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 2022 - 2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report details the hourly rates of the pre-eminent Deal Law Firms in the US. Hourly rates in the M&A market are the perennial leaders due to the nature of deals - legal fees paid in-full when the merger completes so no lengthy billing process, both sides want the deal done and are therefore non-adversarial and legal fees can be capitalized not expensed.

The deal landscape remains uncertain but one thing that is certain - private and corporate cash levels are at an all-time high, waiting to be deployed. We expect that deployment to happen in one year or less. Using state of the art software and AI, the Legal Pricing Platform identifies, parses and uploads hourly rates that are publicly disclosed of attorneys and support staff at over 2,900 law firms representing over 20,000 companies in 63 countries with rates denominated in 12 currencies. Secondary public records research is performed to complete detailed engagement profiles of the attorneys and companies involved.

In the Legal Pricing Platform, all hourly rates, hours and fees for each individual attorney are cited as to the source. For example, the citation for a court filing includes case name, case number, court, case filing date, filing number, filing description, attorney and support staff listed by full name, client name, hourly rate of each timekeeper, hours billed, total hours and the time period in which the work was performed. As mentioned, further secondary research is required to confirm experience levels (graduation and bar licensure years), bar state (in the United States) or bar country (outside of the United States), practice area(s) and primary industry of the client.

All data for the analytical reports, such as the 2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report TM, is downloaded from the Platform and rates are detailed as Average Billed Rates by Annual Revenue Rankings (AMLAW 10, 50, etc.), Firm, Position (Senior Partner - 25 years or more since Graduation Year, Partner - 24 years or less, Counsel, Senior Associate - 5 years or more, Associate - 4 years or less and Support Staff), Practice(s) and Rate Years. Some rate year fields were estimated.

In order to provide this detailed level of clarity and transparency, the Platform finds rate information in 1) public records in US Federal Courts - SCOTUS, Appellate Courts including the Federal Circuit, District Courts, Bankruptcy Courts, Tax Court and Others 2) publicly available budgets from municipalities, districts (school, water, environmental and others), counties and states where attorneys were hired to perform legal work for the public entity 3) registrations such SEC records and other publicly disclosed departmental or agency filings.

Since the publisher researches, reviews and analyzes only publicly available information and cites the source of the information, the United States federal and state court systems easily recognize and accept the validity and veracity of the data in court. The data has been used and cited in several hundred United States federal and state court cases including the Supreme Court of the United States (Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley Publishing), Federal District Courts (The United States v. Apple), Appellate Courts including the Federal Circuit, Federal Bankruptcy (AMR Corporation, Chapter 11 bankruptcy case) and Adversary proceedings and major state courts mainly in California, Texas and New York.

Through this process the Platform is able to provide actionable and monetizable data to our client community - large law firms, corporations and consulting firms to make:

• Direct comparisons between attorneys and firms (as opposed to general averages of a collection of various firms' rates as found in surveys, e-billing services or online auction sites) and
• Important pricing and strategy decisions enterprise-wide or engagement-by-engagement for litigation, transactional, advisory and regulatory matters.
