InterFinancial – TOP 5 in the 2021 M&A League Tables

24.2.2022

We love the business of empowering clients to achieve extraordinary outcomes through mergers and acquisitions. In fact, it gives us no greater pleasure than to see our clients achieve more, as a result of our partnership.

As a reinforcement of these values and what we’ve been able to achieve together, we’re delighted to share our 2021 league table performance:

Top 10 Firms on the Australian Mid-Cap M&A (US$500m) league tables 

Top 5 Firms on the Australian Small-Cap M&A (US$50m) league tables 

Every day, we strive to act as problem-solvers, partners and mentors for our clients, enabling businesses to achieve their goals through transition and change. This recognition of our efforts and position in the industry is one of our biggest achievements as an M&A firm to-date and one that we’ll be marking as a milestone in our corporate history.

On behalf of both InterFinancial and our high-growth tech division IFL Ventures, we wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for choosing to partner with us, entrust us and refer to us. We are delighted to work with you and hope you will celebrate this achievement as a mark of your success as much as ours.
