Baker Botts’ Texas capital markets practice has been on fire lately. In June alone, it racked up 10 capital markets deals worth at least $4.2 billion.
Most of them involved – you guessed it – energy-related companies. But the biggest – at $1.3 billion – was by railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe (Baker Botts assisted the underwriters). Houston partners Josh Davidson and Doug Getten, co-heads of the firm’s capital markets practice, handled three of the 10 (see some of them below).
Davidson has spent his entire legal career at Baker Botts after graduating from Harvard Law School in 1985. Getten arrived at Baker Botts three years ago after seven years at Paul Hastings. But he cut his teeth at Vinson & Elkins after graduating from LSU Law School.
Carina Antweil, Tim Taylor and Clint Rancher, who have also spent their entire careers at Baker Botts, have been busy this year, too.
Why all the activity? According to Getten in an emailed note, the firm has seen a particular uptick in capital markets financings over the past six weeks or so, most of which have been debt transactions.
“However, we have worked on several equity offerings as well and continue to work on IPO processes in various stages,” he said. “We expect deal flow in the second half of the year to be consistent with that of the first half.”
The week ending June 29 saw 14 deals valued at $8.2 billion, of which there were eight M&A/funding transactions that clocked in at $6.3 billion of the total. That compares pretty favorably with the week prior, which saw 12 deals for $5.7 billion. This time last year we reported 16 deals for $6.9 billion.
