2019 Capital Markets Transactions

March 30, 2020 Mark Curriden

(UPDATED) The Texas Lawbook’s Corporate Deal Tracker documents all M&A activity and securities offerings handled by in-house and outside counsel in Texas reported to us. 

Last week, The Lawbook published a list of IPOs and equity and debt offerings that Texas lawyers worked on in 2019. That list has been updated. The chart includes the date, dollar value, business sector and name of the companies that did the offerings. In addition, the Corporate Deal Tracker lists the names of the law firms and capital market lawyers involved. 

As we suggested last week, if you noticed that the list is missing a securities offering, please do not hesitate to contact Texas Lawbook senior editor Allen Pusey (allen.pusey@texaslawbook.net) or Claire Poole (claire.poole@texaslawbook.net) with the information. 

In addition, Claire includes securities offerings in her weekly roundup.
