Corp. Deal Tracker Weekly Round-Up: 17 Firms, 91 Lawyers, 15 Transactions, $2.38B

Deal activity slowed down the week of Oct. 31 through Nov. 6, with only $2.38 billion worth of reported deals across 15 transactions versus $4.7 billion across 17 the previous week. Several private deals didn’t announce terms, so that may have skewed the numbers.

The transactions ranged from oil and gas asset sales to industrial deals (including one involving robotics) to private equity fundraisings and commitments to planned software and banking IPO’s. The biggest: American Midstream Partners’ $815 million purchase of Southcross Energy Partners, which involved 37 Texas lawyers, followed by Oil Search’s $400 million Alaskan property acquisition from Armstrong Energy and GMT Exploration Co., which involved 15 in-state attorneys.
