Bus/Financial - Law (general)
English term or phrase: won roles
"xxx, xxx, xxx en xxx all won roles on big-ticket mandates stemming from the demise of local banks Fortis and Dexia at the end of 2008." xxx zijn allemaal advocatenkantoren. Ik weet niet zo goed hoe ik hier "won roles" moet interpreteren.

opdrachten binnenhalen
Explanation:
De ondergang van de genoemde partijen heeft veel werk opgeleverd voor advocatenkantoren. Big-ticket = belangrijk of prestigieus.

Waar komt de tekst vandaan? Je geeft aan 'business/financial, law', maar het heeft naar mijn idee ook een hoge "journalese"-gehalte.

Explanation:
"Won roles" betekent zoveel als "got their shares". Zou dus vertalen met "zij kregen hun deel".
