According to Drillinginfo, public equity and debt offerings raised only $16.9 billion in the second quarter, down more than a third from this time last year. Claire Poole has the numbers underlying those numbers, along with a slightly more optimistic CDT Roundup of Texas activity.

Mergermarket: Texas M&A Plummeted in H1 2019

If you've been paying attention to M&A numbers in recent weeks, you already know this: compared to last year, the first half of 2019 has been lackluster. Deal count is down. Deal values are down. "Exceedingly cautious," is the way one lawyer describes the market. Claire Poole bears the bad news from our exclusive Mergermarket data.

CDT Roundup: 10 Deals, 7 Firms, 46 Lawyers, $775.5M

Deal activity involving Texas lawyers continued to be weak this past week – and way weaker than this time last year, which doesn't portend a great second half of the year. Claire Poole has the numbers.

Callon-Carrizo: It’s All About Relationships

Baker Botts had done work for Carrizo Oil & Gas for 22 years. Kirkland had been developing a relationship with Callon Petroleum management for the last several years. In the end, the two law firms helped put together a combination of the two companies that one analyst says will join an elite group that can achieve double-digit production growth while generating meaningful free cash flow.

Kirkland, Baker Botts Aid on $3.2B Callon-Carrizo Hookup

Callon’s purchase of Carrizo is the latest in a wave of consolidation among oil and gas producers operating in the Permian Basin. But one analyst thinks there could be some investor pushback as many viewed Callon as more of a seller than a buyer.

  • P.S. — Baker Botts Scores Two Pro Bono Victories in August  - Baker Botts closed out August with two notable pro bono victories — a due process claim on behalf of a Florida tenant in the Eleventh Circuit and a closely watched constitutional challenge to Texas’ drag ban.

  • My Five Favorite Books: Brandy Treadway (Chief Legal Officer, Academy Sports and Outdoors) - When I was asked to contribute to this ongoing column, I was immediately excited — and then, admittedly, a little nervous. Books have always held a special place in my life. As a child, I was a voracious reader, and my mom would often find me tucked away in a closet with a flashlight, determined to finish whatever story had captured my imagination. As an adult, I have not always devoted as much time to reading as I did when I was younger, but books have remained an important way for me to connect — with friends, with family, and now with my own children. I chose these five books because each one has meant something to me at a particular stage of life, and each is one I have shared with someone else. September 2, 2026Brandy Treadway
