In a week marked by spring break vacations and a predictably skimpy roster of deals, it might be a good time to note the wood anniversary — that’s five years for the romantics among you — of Shearman & Sterling’s presence in Texas.
Shearman opened its first Texas office in Austin in March 2018, taking aim at the tech and life sciences companies that were emerging in the state’s capital city. But the New York-headquartered firm rapidly expanded to Houston in 2018 and to Dallas in 2020 — during the heart of the pandemic — and now boasts 70 attorneys, including 24 partners, across the state.
Bill Nelson, who now heads Shearman’s Texas offices, joined the firm in December 2018 from Haynes and Boone where he was co-chair of the firm’s capital markets and securities practices. Nelson says that after more than 23 years at HaynesBoone, it was a major transition for him personally; but in the five years that have elapsed, he says he has discovered no regrets.
“It’s really no different [a lateral move] from a new associate at a law firm. You wonder how things work, where you fit in,” Nelson says. “What’s really amazed me about Shearman is the culture, the teamwork, the resiliency.”
At the heart of his satisfaction, he says, is a stream of work that remains both challenging and fascinating. He cautions that the word “fascination” might not translate to those outside the boundaries of his capital markets practice.
“[The move to Shearman] has given me a phenomenal platform with my clients in Texas, and also clients I hadn’t the opportunity to work with before,” Nelson said.
“Whether it’s following the new SPAC rules, or rewriting bank engagement letters to reflect regulatory changes, it’s the fact that we’re at the forefront of the conversation. We’re in the room,” Nelson said. “That’s what fascinates me.”
Over its five years in Texas, Shearman has cut its share of deals, including a couple of the larger transactions featured this week.
Shearman’s Texas lawyers, for instance, advised on the $7.7 billion purchase by SAP SE of 423 million shares of Qualtrics, part of a $12.5 billion take-private transaction. Nelson himself was involved in a deSPAC merger that is taking Aeries Technology public.
Other major Shearman transactions that involved their Texas offices include such clients as:
· DT Midstream’s private placement of $600 million in senior secured notes.
· Schoox in its strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners Endeavor Fund.
· Caris Life Sciences in the equity portion of its $310 million growth capital financing, its $830 million growth equity round and as borrower on a $400 million senior secured term loan facility provided by OrbiMed and Braidwell.
· Plains All American Pipeline and Plains Marketing as borrowers on a $2.7 billion revolving credit facility.
· Human Power of N Company (HumanN) in a putative consumer class action in connection to false advertising under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices—Consumer Protection Act.
· YETI Coolers in a trademark infringement litigation regarding unauthorized marketing and sales of ‘unreleased’ jackets and other YETI branded apparel.
· Hitachi on its acquisition of GlobalLogic Inc, a transaction valued at $9.5 billion.
· Private equity firm EnCap Flatrock Midstreamin connection with its $3 billion sale of Moda Midstream assets to assets to Enbridge Inc.
· Southland Royalty Co. on its chapter 11 case.
Nelson is hoping that the growth and opportunities continue (knock on wood).
The week ending March 18 was, as noted above, a quiet one. Somebody was on spring break. There were only seven deals valued at $13.9 billion, five of them M&A transactions. This compares to last week’s 21 transactions valued at $11.5 billion and the 13 transactions for $2.3 billion during the same week last year.
