Alongside our number 1 ranking for volume of deals on Mergermarket's league tables, Ernst & Young impressed the judges with our integrated geographical structure across EMEIA and the keynote deal of the year – the Kraft/Cadbury synergy assessment.

Ernst & Young advised Kraft Foods Inc on the $18.9bn acquisition of Cadbury Plc. Our role, lead by our operational transactions services team, included reviewing and assessing the deal synergy's available to Kraft. We provided merger benefit opinions to support several announcements made by Kraft and provided advice in interpreting the guidelines of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
