Texas Lawbook 50 — The Beast

The Texas Lawbook 50 rankings by revenue debuted eight years ago this week. Vinson & Elkins topped the 2017 charts with $484 million in revenue generated by their Texas lawyers. They were followed by Baker Botts, Norton Rose Fulbright, Hunton Andrews Kurth, Haynes Boone and Jackson Walker. Ranked 11th in the chart was a relative newcomer to the state: Kirkland & Ellis, which reported $187 million in Texas revenue — double what the firm had reported a year earlier.

This week, the Lawbook 50 will unveil the top 50 firms that generated the most revenue in their Texas offices. Kirkland is not ranked 11th any longer.

CDT Roundup: Deals Pop, Dollars Drop in Mixed Week

For the week ended April 18, the CDT Roundup reported on 14 deals with a total valuation of just over $3.5 billion, and nearly half of that value came from one deal. The prior week had 10 deals reported with a total value of slightly more than $5 billion, while a year ago at this time, the Roundup reported on 13 deals valued at nearly $2.4 billion. While total deal volume is up of late, total values are muted somewhat by a number of deals reported sans financial terms.

That and more in this edition of CDT Roundup.
