Mayer Brown once again recognized at GlobalCapital's Americas Derivatives Awards
NEW YORK – Mayer Brown has again been named “Americas Law Firm of the Year (Overall)” and “US Law Firm of the Year” at GlobalCapital's 2026 Global Americas Derivatives Awards. These awards recognize innovation, growth, and work that improves the derivatives industry.
This is the fifth year in a row that Mayer Brown has won the Americas Law Firm of the Year (Overall) award and the seventh time in nine years. The awards highlight Mayer Brown’s work on behalf of clients involving both regulatory and transactional matters. The firm was particularly selected for its innovative deal work.
"We are honored to be recognized by GlobalCapital and grateful for the trust our clients continue to place in our team," said Ed Parker, global leader of the firm’s Derivatives & Structured Products practice. "The past year has been one of the most active periods for product development in recent memory--whether advising clients on the impact of Basel III 'Endgame' proposals, helping banks achieve regulatory capital relief through synthetic risk transfer transactions, or guiding clients on products that deliver defined outcomes in new formats. Much of this innovation has been driven directly by regulatory change. Being selected for our innovative transactional work reflects both the depth of these regulatory shifts and the collaborative work we do alongside our clients.”
