Cohrs Caps Career With Deutsche Bank on M&A Map Next to Goldman

Michael Cohrs, co-head of investment banking at Deutsche Bank AG, is capping a 15-year career at the German lender just as it becomes a global leader in mergers and acquisitions.

Deutsche Bank, which for years trailed Wall Street competitors in the mergers business, is the top takeover adviser in Europe, No. 3 in Asia, and fourth in the U.S., the biggest M&A market, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Globally, the Frankfurt-based bank ranks fourth.
