CDT Roundup: 15 Deals, 12 Firms, 186 Lawyers, $5.3B

The biggest deal reported last week was the $2.4 billion sale of "non-core" assets along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast by Dow, the chemical giant. The sale involved a 40 percent stake in Dow InfraCo sold to alternative asset manage Macquarie. The deal is only the latest in a series of "non-core" sell-offs, a phrase that is becoming as common as "consolidation" in the current market. The CDT takes a look at the "non-core" transaction trend and an observer of the Dow deal who less than impressed. And, of course, the usual report on last week's deals and dealmakers.

CDT Roundup: 16 Deals, 10 Firms, 231 Lawyers, $4.8B

In the year that will soon be past, the sheer volume of energy-related, or energy-adjacent transactions are worth noting. Whether in O&G per se, data center energy demands or the more mundane multitude of PE acquisitions in HVAC manufacturing and service companies, the sides seem okay with the value. So, we weren’t that surprised by the November findings of the semi-annual Haynes Boone Borrowing Base Redeterminations Survey. The CDT Roundup takes a look at the details, along with the usual run-down of the week's M&A deals and the lawyers behind them.

CDT Roundup: 10 Deals, 9 Firms, 103 Lawyers, $10.3B

For some, it may be too soon to talk about it, but business leaders are already weighing in on how their industries might be impacted by the election results. In one of the first survey’s we’ve seen, Endeavor Business Intelligence deployed a short questionnaire to U.S. business leaders on their perceptions of the upcoming change in administrations. There were 160 respondents, not bad for a one-week project; and the answers proved more complex than one might expect. That and the usual review of last week's reported transactions.

CDT Roundup: 17 Deals, 11 Firms, 245 Lawyers, $11.5B

Methane emissions are a sticky business in Texas, especially in the Permian where the colorless, odorless substance is simply a by-product of exploration and production for oil and gas on a massive scale. An $88 million satellite set into orbit in March, however, has begun to visualize and quantify the problem. The picture isn't pretty. But situation is complicated, as the CDT Roundup reports this week — along with its usual survey of transactions.

  • A Tribute to Alistair Byrne Dawson - Alistair Dawson loved the courtroom. He relished the crucible of trial, the chance to stand before a judge and jury and advocate with clarity and conviction. His skill was evident early. At an age when most lawyers are still finding their footing, he was entrusted with cases involving some of the nation’s most prominent executives and businesses. He represented real estate magnate Sheldon Solow in a high-stakes dispute in New York. He led a case for Marvin Davis, the legendary oil wildcatter. He took on complex antitrust litigation for AT&T. These were not assignments given lightly nor to just anyone. Clients who could have hired any lawyer in the country chose Alistair. And they chose wisely. His loss is immeasurable. September 9, 2025David J. Beck
  • Daria Russell Has Helped Mattress Firm Navigate a Decade of Highs and Lows - Daria Russell has experienced a lot since she joined the legal team at Houston-based Mattress Firm in 2015 — more than a dozen M&A transactions, including a 2016 $3.8 billion merger, a crippling accounting scandal involving the company’s former corporate parent, a subsequent 2018 multibillion-dollar corporate bankruptcy and then a $5 billion merger with Tempur Sealy that closed earlier this year. In May, Mattress Firm rewarded Russell for her decade of extraordinary legal work by promoting her to general counsel, overseeing five in-house lawyers, two health and safety professionals and seven loss-prevention contractors. Russell, like most corporate chief legal officers, is dealing with issues ranging from artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights and data privacy issues to ESG compliance and everything digital.
