PART FIVE: The top accounting and legal firms
Finally, we looked at the top accounting and legal firms advising the IPO companies in Q1 2018. The top three accounting firms were PwC (22% of deals and 34% of proceeds), Ernst & Young (20% of deals and 35% of proceeds), and Deloitte (13% of deals and 15% of proceeds).
The top law firms by number of IPO companies represented include Ellenoff Grossman & Schole, Vinson & Elkins, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Ellenoff Grossman & Schole leads with eight IPO clients.
