Evidenced M&A on each firm’s own deal list dated 2025–2026, with Dealroom’s month where the site gives no date. Canonical acquisition, merger and buyout types qualify; without a canonical type, an explicit sourced acquisition, sale or control-transaction description is required. Financing and ambiguous transactions are excluded from this league, not removed from profiles. Advisor role alone does not qualify a deal. “8+” means the firm’s list ends inside the period, so it may have done more. Values are the firm’s where it discloses one, otherwise Dealroom’s; most deals have neither, so the disclosed value adds up only the deals with a value, and the average is over those. Not ranked, because no evidenced M&A deals are dated in the period: ARTHOS Corporate Finance, Agile Equity, Craig-Hallum, Momentum Cyber, Navidar, PMCF, Software Capital Advisors and Stratagem.
