Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows any good websites that reliably list all recent and important cases that magic circle firms/london firms in general, have closed. I know the firms' websites already provide for a few ones but I'd like to see a more organised and detailed list, possibily dividing cases based on their field (I'm interested in m&a).
I'd be so grateful if anyone answers!

Legal 500 or Chambers & Partners will have these details. For instance:

thank you so much these are really helpful! Do you also know where I can find out about some of their other cases? I feel like to get a good idea of the firm's work I need to see more than that... Like is there a website where I can see everything the firm has done for a specific client or is it all private? If not this is still super useful and thank you!

You won’t find out what they have done entirely for a client but you’d never need to know this anyway. Probably only client relationship partners know this level of detail.

Oh okay I thought so too! I wanted to see more cases mainly to learn how to distinguish between different firms' approaches to corporate law. I want to understand which firm's methods I most align with but I'm not sure how to do that... Do you have any advice? Thank you for answering my questions!

I don’t think you need details of their matters to do this. You can look more at the firm’s strategy (eg markets/clients they target) and values to see how they approach work, which will be detailed on their website.
