MergerLinks data comes predominantly from proprietary research. The in-house research team sources information daily from hundreds of sources, including press releases, blogs, stock exchange announcements, regulatory filings, and more.

In addition, MergerLinks receives direct submissions of M&A data from more than 200 leading firms (including law firms, investment banks, PR, and accounting firms).

Last but not least, individuals with MergerLinks profiles submit their data directly to the platform, where it is verified by the research team before being published.

When you request credit for being involved in a deal, the request goes to the MergerLinks research team. They verify that your information is accurate by using deal submissions from partner firms, press releases, news sources, and information from other dealmakers. This means you can be sure that everything you see on the MergerLinks site has been checked for accuracy. 

As a dealmaker, your league table inclusion and ranking depends on the deals you have taken part in, and which are associated with your MergerLinks profile (so be sure to claim credit for all the deals you have been involved with). Both the number of deals and the total value of these days are taken into consideration. The top dealmakers within certain roles, regions, or industries will qualify for the league tables.
