CDT Roundup: 20 Deals, 19 Firms, 372 Lawyers, $9.1B

As readers of The Texas Lawbook are well aware, 2024 started off with a bang, particularly in the energy sector, where there has been a dozen such deals with a value of $50.7 billion.

The phenomenon has been going on globally across sectors as well, according to a report by LSEG Deals Intelligence. Deals worth $522 billion were announced in the first two months of 2024, up 75 percent over the same period in 2023, the slowest annual start for deal making since 2009. Nine mega deals, each worth $10 billion or more, were announced during the period, equaling the all-time record set in 2018.
