Clairfield has ranked among the top midmarket M&A advisors in many markets in LSEG\u2019s Global M&A Mid-Market Advisory Review for the first half of 2026, confirming the partnership\u2019s position as one of the leading independent advisory firms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The H1 tables, which rank financial advisors on announced deals of up to USD 500 million, place Clairfield sixth in Eastern Europe (Poland<\/a>, Czech Republic<\/a>, Austria, Hungary, and Romania<\/a>) ninth in Benelux (Belgium<\/a>, Netherlands<\/a>) and tenth in Latin America (Brazil<\/a>, Mexico<\/a>, Argentina<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Japan, partner firm Yamada Consulting Group<\/a> (YCG) ranked 7th with 35 announced transactions, one of the most active advisors in the market. Yamada joined the Clairfield partnership in 2020 and acquired a 10% share in Clairfield in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across Europe as a whole, the partnership ranks in the top 20 financial advisors by number of announced midmarket deals. In the small cap tables, covering deals of up to USD 50 million, Clairfield placed fourth in Eastern Europe and fifth in Japan, with further top ten positions in Benelux, Latin America, and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rankings also show momentum in several markets at the mid-year point. Clairfield climbed eleven places in the Nordic table, thanks to our teams in Finland <\/a>and Denmark<\/a>, and Australia <\/a>entered the top 20 after climbing 38 places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Built for crossborder deals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The results reflect the partnership\u2019s model: locally rooted senior dealmakers in 34 countries who originate and execute together across borders. Closed crossborder transactions accounted for over 30% of Clairfield\u2019s first half of 2026, with most assignments being in nature international, at a time when LSEG reports global crossborder midmarket activity falling to a two-year low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cThese rankings arrive in a market where global deal numbers have fallen to a six-year low, which makes them all the more satisfying. When activity tightens, owners and investors become more selective, and they are choosing senior corporate finance advisors who know their markets personally and can reach buyers and targets across borders through one partnership. Rankings follow client outcomes, never the other way round.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable H1 crossborder deals include Protech’s strategic partnership with Proman, involving deal teams spanning Australia <\/a>and France<\/a>, and the USD 175m sale of Finnish boat manufacturer Saxdor to US based Malibu Boats, led by our teams in Belgium <\/a>and Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
