On March 30, 2023, Wilson Sonsini partners Kathy Ku, Katie Martin, and Amy Simmerman were named to The Deal's 2023 “Top Women in Dealmaking” list, which honors exemplary women in the legal profession. This year's list recognized attorneys who have displayed excellence in their legal fields including M&A, private equity, restructuring, and activist investing.

Each year, The Deal's team of researchers identifies women setting the bar for the next generation of attorneys. In particular, they recognize those who have shown the ability to navigate complex transactions, maintain strong client relationships, and demonstrate leadership in and outside of boardrooms, during the previous year.

Wilson Sonsini’s corporate team represents more companies that receive venture financing than any other U.S. law firm and consistently ranks No. 1 for the number of issuer-side venture capital deals handled each year, according to Refinitv. Our multidisciplinary approach enables us to offer comprehensive and coordinated legal counsel across all areas related to complex public company matters, including securities, compensation, M&A, antitrust, litigation, internal and agency investigations, and tax. In the last year, Wilson Sonsini advised on more than 135 M&A deals that were announced and/or completed during the year, with an aggregate disclosed value of more than $119 billion.
