CDT Roundup: A Week of Power Plants, Energy Infrastructure and Another Crypto CapM Deal

The week that ended Sept. 20 saw 24 deals with a reported value of $11.3 billion. There were a lot of deals this week related to energy, infrastructure or AI, or some combination of the three. The largest deals of the week included, perhaps unsurprisingly, a few of the largest players: with San Antonio’s electric utility buying four natural gas plants for $1.4 billion and Blackstone buying a huge natural gas plant in southwest Pennsylvania for $1 billion, give or take a few million or so. That and more in this edition of CDT Roundup.

  • Norton Rose Fulbright Partners Norton Rose Fulbright in Dallas: Measuring Retention by the Decade - In an era when lawyers are changing teams with the frequency of SEC linebackers, a large contingent of Dallas-based lawyers at Norton Rose Fulbright have been staying put for decades. Like lawyers on-the-move, they cite 'culture' as their reason for staying; but offering the credibility of decades in the same office of the same firm, these lawyers may actually mean it.

  • The Heavyweight Litigator Quietly Behind Halperin Park and Other Major Civic Projects in Dallas - Mike Gruber is the litigator people and businesses call when the stakes are high. But for much of his life and career, he has also worked quietly behind the scenes of some of Dallas’ biggest civic projects.

    He almost missed his chance. A teenage car mechanic who seemed destined for vocational work, Gruber saw a different future only after a high school civics teacher took an interest in him and mapped out an alternative path.

    In the decades since, Gruber has quietly paid that opportunity forward, leveraging his bar card, relationships and resources to help shape Dallas beyond the courtroom.
