Aedamar Comiskey and Jessamy Gallagher, Linklaters
Linklaters’ head of corporate Aedamar Comiskey (pictured above) stands as one of the few female heavyweights in public M&A. The former senior partner contender has established herself as a substantial business generator, acting as Linklaters’ relationship partner for key clients including Aviva and HSBC. With many of her clients selling businesses of late, she recently worked on John Wood Group’s £2.2bn takeover of Amec Foster Wheeler and Visa Europe’s €21.2bn sale to Visa.
