United States M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report 2022-2025: Unlocking Legal Pricing Transparency from Court Filings to Rate Sheets - Access Rates by Practice Area for 145 Firms
2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report reveals top US law firm rates, driven by high-value deals and non-adversarial closures. The data informs strategic decisions for legal pricing and has been cited in key US court cases. Dublin, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Valeo 2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report" report has been added to offering. The 2022 - 2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report details the hourly rates of the pre-eminent Deal Law Firms in the US. Hourly rates in the M&A market are the perennial leaders due to the nature of deals - legal fees paid in-full when the merger completes so no lengthy billing process, both sides want the deal done and are therefore non-adversarial and legal fees can be capitalized not expensed. The deal landscape remains uncertain but one thing that is certain - private and corporate cash levels are at an all-time high, waiting to be deployed. We expect that deployment to happen in one year or less. Using state of the art software and AI, the Legal Pricing Platform identifies, parses and uploads hourly rates that are publicly disclosed of attorneys and support staff at over 2,900 law firms representing over 20,000 companies in 63 countries with rates denominated in 12 currencies. Secondary public records research is performed to complete detailed engagement profiles of the attorneys and companies involved. In the Legal Pricing Platform, all hourly rates, hours and fees for each individual attorney are cited as to the source. For example, the citation for a court filing includes case name, case number, court, case filing date, filing number, filing description, attorney and support staff listed by full name, client name, hourly rate of each timekeeper, hours billed, total hours and the time period in which the work was performed. As mentioned, further secondary research is required to confirm experience levels (graduation and bar licensure years), bar state (in the United States) or bar country (outside of the United States), practice area(s) and primary industry of the client. All data for the analytical reports, such as the 2022-2025 M&A Law Firm Hourly Rate Report TM, is downloaded from the Platform and rates are detailed as Average Billed Rates by Annual Revenue Rankings (AMLAW 10, 50, etc.), Firm, Position (Senior Partner - 25 years or more since Graduation Year, Partner - 24 years or less, Counsel, Senior Associate - 5 years or more, Associate - 4 years or less and Support Staff), Practice(s) and Rate Years. Some rate year fields were estimated. In order to provide this detailed level of clarity and transparency, the Platform finds rate information in 1) public records in US Federal Courts - SCOTUS, Appellate Courts including the Federal Circuit, District Courts, Bankruptcy Courts, Tax Court and Others 2) publicly available budgets from municipalities, districts (school, water, environmental and others), counties and states where attorneys were hired to perform legal work for the public entity 3) registrations such SEC records and other publicly disclosed departmental or agency filings. Since the publisher researches, reviews and analyzes only publicly available information and cites the source of the information, the United States federal and state court systems easily recognize and accept the validity and veracity of the data in court. The data has been used and cited in several hundred United States federal and state court cases including the Supreme Court of the United States (Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley Publishing), Federal District Courts (The United States v. Apple), Appellate Courts including the Federal Circuit, Federal Bankruptcy (AMR Corporation, Chapter 11 bankruptcy case) and Adversary proceedings and major state courts mainly in California, Texas and New York. Through this process the Platform is able to provide actionable and monetizable data to our client community - large law firms, corporations and consulting firms to make: Direct comparisons between attorneys and firms (as opposed to general averages of a collection of various firms' rates as found in surveys, e-billing services or online auction sites) and Important pricing and strategy decisions enterprise-wide or engagement-by-engagement for litigation, transactional, advisory and regulatory matters.

French automotive firm Valeo assures continued investment in India after meeting Minister Piyush Goyal
By Shailesh Yadav Paris [France], June 2 (ANI): French automotive supplier Valeo has reaffirmed its commitment to continue investing in India following a one-on-one meeting between CEO Christophe Perillat and Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal during the minister's three-day tour to France. The global automotive technology company, headquartered in France, expressed strong optimism about India's economic prospects and the country's electric vehicle transformation. Valeo's Pune facility is positioned at the forefront of India's EV revolution, supporting the nation's ambitious mobility goals with expanded operations and cutting-edge technologies. Speaking to ANI after the meeting with Minister Goyal, Perillat conveyed enthusiasm about India's growth trajectory. 'There is a lot of optimism in the Indian economy. We are investing a lot in India. Very happy to share this with the Minister, and we're happy to be there and happy to continue the growth story of Valeo over there,' he stated. The CEO highlighted several factors driving their confidence in the Indian market. 'We think that the passenger car market is going to significantly increase. We've seen that in recent years thanks to better infrastructure, good utilities, a lot of talents from the management we have there (India), from the people we are there. So very excited. It was a fantastic meeting,' Perillat added. Piyush Goyal wrote on X after the meeting,'Held a meeting with Mr. Christophe Perillat, CEO of @Valeo_Group a global automotive supplier company with a strong footprint in India. Appreciate the company's trust in India's growth story and their plans to enhance investments in the country. We discussed avenues to scale up their manufacturing presence in India,'. According to Valeo's assessment, India is accelerating its EV adoption at an unprecedented pace. As in the world's most populous country, the potential for electric vehicle market revolution is enormous. EVs accounted for approximately 5 per cent of India's total vehicle sales in 2023, but this figure is expected to surge dramatically. By 2030, the market is projected to grow by nearly 30 per cent, driven by enthusiastic adoption of electrified two-wheelers and the iconic three-wheel tuk-tuk, which comprised nearly half of all EV sales. Electric SUV models are also increasingly appearing on Indian roads. As a global leader in electric powertrain technologies, equipping one in three new vehicles worldwide, Valeo plays a major role in meeting India's rapidly growing EV demand. At its plant in Pune, Maharashtra, the company manufactures a comprehensive range of EV technologies for local automakers, including Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, supplying components for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and SUVs. The Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, has approved a forward-looking scheme to promote domestic manufacture of passenger cars with special focus on electric vehicles. This landmark initiative aligns with India's national goals of achieving net zero by 2070, fostering sustainable mobility, driving economic growth, and reducing environmental impact. Today, the Ministry of Heavy Industries issued detailed guidelines for the 'Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India' (SPMEPCI), which was announced on March 15, 2024. The Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, simultaneously issued notifications for reduced import duties in line with the scheme provisions. To encourage global manufacturers to invest under the scheme, approved applicants will be allowed to import Completely Built-in Units (CBUs) of electric four-wheelers with a minimum Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value of USD 35,000 at reduced customs duty of 15 per cent for five years from the application approval date. Approved applicants are required to make a minimum investment of Rs 4,150 crore in accordance with scheme provisions. The initiative is designed to establish India as a premier global destination for automotive manufacturing and innovation while achieving 'Make in India' objectives. The scheme aims to attract investments from global EV manufacturers, promote India as a manufacturing destination for electric vehicles, generate employment, and position India prominently on the global EV manufacturing map. Valeo's continued commitment to Indian operations reflects the broader confidence international automotive companies have in India's transition to sustainable transportation and its potential as a global manufacturing hub.
