On April 22nd, happened the annual Russia M&A Awards 2025 as part of the XV Russian M&A Congress. Since 2010, this prestigious award has recognized the top performers in the mergers & acquisitions market.

Last years M&A Consultants Ranking introduced a special category for government relations support — and for the second consecutive year, Kesarev took the title of Best GR Consultant in M&A, as voted by the industry. This award highlights our leading role in Russia’s M&A market: in 2024, the Kesarev team worked on more than 30 deals, with a total value of more than 1 billion USD nominal value (not the real one, due to mandatory discount regulations).

We thank our clients and our team including Evgeny Roshkov, Yury Panasik, Vitaly Zhigulin, Yury Shikhov, Evgeny Korchevoy (and many others) for making this possible.

A special thanks to our partners from law firms, teams of investment advisors and other professional services firms — all the outstanding M&A advisors with whom we run joint projects — together we make the main deals in the Russian M&A market.

It’s an honor to be among the best — two years running!
