European law firm Fieldfisher has again secured the top position in the AIM adviser rankings for Q4 2024, as reported by the Corporate Advisers Rankings Guide. The firm stands out as the premier legal adviser to AIM-quoted companies, representing 45 clients (eight more than its closest competitor) and ranks joint top in the Technology and Energy sectors.
The Corporate Advisers Rankings Guide is published quarterly by Adviser Rankings Limited, highlighting the leading institutional advisers and their stock market clients.
Commenting on Fieldfisher's rankings, Brad Isaac, Head of Equity Capital Markets, said:
"We are delighted to retain our position as the leading AIM legal adviser, and we thank our clients for their ongoing confidence in our services. While the capital markets remain challenging, we are encouraged by the recent uptick in instructions and enquiries. Following the budget we have greater clarity on the future of the AIM market and we are optimistic about the potential for revitalised capital markets activity in the near future."
