The term “cautious optimism” may be about as cautious (and as literal) as you can get when it comes to M&A in 2024. But a survey of 200 multinational executives by Mergermarket and Norton Rose Fulbright suggests just that, even though nearly six in ten say their own appetite for M&A is likely to increase over the coming year.

One Guess on Which Firm Led the Most Billion-Dollar M&A Deals in Texas in 2023
Texas lawyers for 29 law firms worked on 130 M&A deals in 2023 that had deal values of $1 billion or more. Twenty-two of those firms were the lead legal advisors for the buyers, sellers or targets, according to new data from The Texas Lawbook’s exclusive Corporate Deal Tracker.
