League Table highlights:
"The Lehman bankruptcy will continue to play a significant role in the next quarters because of its sheer size," says David Elman, senior editor at The Deal. "Although Lehman's liquidation plan took effect nearly a year ago, the wind-down of operations continues. Notably, Lehman in November agreed to sell Archstone Inc. to Equity Residential Inc. and AvalonBay Communities Inc. for $16 billion."
The full suite of rankings is available now on The Deal Pipeline, the transaction information service powered by The Deal's newsroom.
