CDT Roundup: Lone Star Deal Machine Keeps 200+ Lawyers Busy for the Week

For the week ended May 9, the CDT Roundup is reporting 21 deals valued at nearly $11.3 billion. And that doesn’t include a $3.25 billion notes offering that closed three weeks ago nor the $56 billion unsolicitied offer for eBay by $11 billion-market-cap GameStop scooped by The Wall Street Journal last week.

White & Case is advising Grapevine-based GameStop, with a team led by New York Partner Richard Brand. GameStop’s general counsel is Mark Robinson, who received the 2023 DFW Corporate Counsel Award for General Counsel of the Year for a Small Legal Department.
