CDT Roundup: 11 Deals, 12 Firms, 101 Lawyers, $3.9B

M&A in North America reached a record $2.7 trillion in 2021, according to PitchBook last week. Meanwhile deals in Texas kept apace with nearly a dozen. The CDT Roundup has all of them, and the lawyers involved.

February 2, 2022 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 13 Deals, 10 Firms, 99 Lawyers, $5.1B

Upstream M&A values for oil and gas were up last year by 25% over 2020, a hopeful sign that energy production transactions are getting back to pre-Covid levels. However, gains in deal volume were slight. At the moment, 2022 seems set for continued deal flow, particularly in the mid-size markets. But beyond? The CDT Roundup has more on those numbers and a look at the lawyers who provided last week's deals.

January 25, 2022 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 12 Deals, 9 Firms, 155 Lawyers, $7.6B

2021 was a record year for private equity in the U.S. According to PitchBook stats there were 8,600 PE deals worth more than $1.2 trillion, waaay higher than even the previous record. The Roundup has more on the banner year, as well as last week's reported transactions.

January 19, 2022 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 13 Deals, 11 Firms, 102 Lawyers, $8.3B

The oil & gas sector may have lost cachet, but its importance to Texas is enduring. And projections for investment in O&G and LNG show that 2022 isn't going to change that. That and the lawyers who moved last week's deals in the CDT Roundup.

January 11, 2022 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 9 Deals, 6 Firms, 50 Lawyers, $1.3B

By almost any measure, 2021 ended as a pretty good year. But of all the high spots, the most notable is the return of the IPO. Last year, there were more initial public offerings than from 2016 through 2019 combined. More on that and the final deals of the year in the CDT Roundup.

The Top 10 M&A Deals of 2021

If for nothing else, 2021 is going to be remembered as the year business wrenched itself out of the clutches of the coronavirus pandemic, or at least learned to live with it. So regardless of the numbers the simple return to a normal business climate is something to celebrate. Here are 10 M&A deals from the year just passed that the CDT Roundup thinks are significant, regardless of size.

January 4, 2022 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 21 Deals, 11 Firms, 176 Lawyers, $4.7B

There are fundamental changes taking place in healthcare and biotechnology transactions. As in energy deals, those changes involve more than the sums of their bottom lines. Two of the 21 deals in this week's CDT Roundup help make the point.

December 29, 2021 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 26 Deals, 15 Firms, 193 Lawyers, $7.3B

As the year nears its end and oil prices begin to settle against the demand-threat posed by Omicron, it's a good time to point up the most obvious change in energy deals: a surge in equity investment in renewables and energy transition technologies. The change is real and, according to a new report from Vinson & Elkins, even O&G giants are acknowledging it. That report, and last week's transactions are all in this week's slightly tardy CDT Roundup.

December 24, 2021 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 16 Deals, 10 Firms, 109 Lawyers, $5B

Just because concerns about O&G prices have been replaced by concerns about ESG doesn't mean that the old ways have vanished. For instance, hydraulic fracturing — in case you were wondering — never really disappeared. Not only is fracking back, next year could well bring a healthy rebound for use of the controversial process. Details on that, and the names of lawyers involved in last week's transactions are in this week's CDT Roundup.

December 14, 2021 Claire Poole & Allen Pusey

CDT Roundup: 14 Deals, 8 Firms, 86 Lawyers, $4.2B

With commodities pricing still on the volatile side, PE and VC deals are getting a lot of attention. But plodding along with them is real asset investing, as a new report by PitchBook reveals. And inside that space, infrastructure deals are taking off, and maybe not for the reasons you may think. That, and a look at last week's transactions, in the CDT Roundup.
