Kirkland Leads Texas M&A H1 Rankings…By Far

M&A activity involving Texas companies may have declined during the first six months of 2019, but the slump does not seem to have impacted the corporate transactional machine that is Kirkland & Ellis.

The Chicago-founded law firm represented 63 companies and private equity firms involved as buyers or sellers of businesses headquartered in Texas – up from 55 such deals during the first half of 2018, according to new data from Mergermarket provided exclusively to The Texas Lawbook.
