Latham Leads One Merger, One Sale and One Acquisition in 48 Hrs

Ryan Maierson could probably use a nap. The Houston-based corporate partner at Latham & Watkins led three deals in the past two days that total nearly $4 billion – and they were just as complex as they were valuable. Andrews Kurth’s Mike O’Leary led the other side for two of the three deals. Attorneys from Locke Lord, Thompson & Knight and V&E were involved as well.

The Texas Lawbook has all the details on the deals, which Maierson said are reflective of some optimism in energy sector deal flow.

Post-Spokeo, Standing Arguments Rise and Fall on Interpretation of ‘Concreteness’

Before the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, courts frequently collapsed the element of “concrete and particularized,” requiring that a plaintiff merely demonstrate that the injury affected him or her in a personal and individual way.

But following the Supreme Court’s guidance in the Spokeo decision, courts are required to analyze the separate and independent element of “concreteness,” which the Court defined as “quite different from particularization.” This article examines that separate element and post-Spokeo decisions interpreting it.

  • P.S. — White & Case Partner: Pro Bono Veterans Wills, Estate Services Have ‘Very Tangible Personal Impact’  - This edition of P.S. is packed with inspirational words from Texas lawyers who are pushing pro bono and public service work forward. Take Galderma’s Devon Sharp, for example. In her acceptance remarks at the Texas General Counsel Forum Magna Stella Awards dinner, she urged fellow attorneys to meet the moment and serve their respective communities. “We are living in a world and country and state where, increasingly, those who live on the margins are being further marginalized,” she said. “The gap between privilege and need is widening and too many are being left behind.” White & Case Houston partner Taylor Pullins also offered a meaningful reminder of the personal nature of wills and estate planning for veterans in contrast to the transaction-heavy matters that dominate much of his big-law practice. And in Houston, Gibson Dunn is revolutionizing its pro bono culture with an annual tradition that pairs new associates with pro bono cases. We hope this Column leaves you inspired.  November 21, 2025Krista Torralva & Elle Grinnell
