Goldman Sachs

The global rise in M&A volumes in the past 12 months can be largely attributed to the re-emergence of a few multi-billion dollar, complex, industry-defining transactions. Goldman Sachs has once again asserted its dominance in this market, advising on seven of the world’s largest M&A deals over this period. These included Bank of America’s $49 billion acquisition of Fleet Boston, Walt Disney’s $67 billion unsolicited offer from Comcast in the US and Aventis’s $69 billion sale to Sanofi-Synthélabo in Europe.
