Texas Corporate Lawyers Reach Beyond State’s Borders for Business

New data compiled by Mergermarket and The Texas Lawbook’s Corporate Deal Tracker shows continued shifts in the legal marketplace. Premier M&A legal practices continue to get more of the top dollar transactional work. A smaller group of full service firms are capturing the mid-market deal activity. Wall Street law firms continue to steal away the largest Texas M&A.

But the newest trend is that Texas-based lawyers are increasingly being hired by non-Texas companies to advise them on mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures.

The Texas Lawbook has the exclusive report on the law firms that are doing the most M&A work so far in Texas.

  • P.S. — Dallas Lawyers Launch Nonprofit to Keep Kids in Competitive Soccer  - When Sarita Prabhu and Jacque Kruppa first enrolled their sons in recreational soccer, it cost about $80. 

    But as the boys advanced into more competitive leagues, the price tag climbed to upwards of $5,000. 

    They saw other kids drop out because their families could not keep up with the rising costs. 

    Prabhu, managing vice president and legal counsel at Gartner, and Kruppa, a partner and transactional lawyer at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, occasionally made donations to their nonprofit soccer club to bridge the gap. But they also began thinking about how they could make a broader impact after seeing the value soccer provided their kids beyond the field – leadership, teamwork, strategy, grit and exposure to diverse groups of kids. 

    The result was Dallas Soccer Scholars, which launched in July, obtained 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in January, and has accepted 12 scholars into the program. Additional applications are pending for the 2026-2027 season. The organization has also sponsored two soccer tournament teams to ease travel costs.

    That and more in this edition of P.S.

  • Phillips 66’s Vanessa Sutherland & Michael Voutsinas — The New World of Legal Operations - Energy company legal departments have a lot on their agendas in 2026, including ever-changing tariffs, turmoil in the Middle East, constant reversals in federal regulatory schemes, threats of cybersecurity and intellectual property theft and constantly rising hourly rates from outside counsel. As companies struggle to manage or keep up, Phillips 66 GC Vanessa Sutherland and Legal Ops Director Michael Voutsinas have taken a different approach: It has dramatically upgraded its entire legal operations team that deals with effective financial management of legal work, employee performance management, technology adoption and usage, outside vendor management, information governance, e-discovery and data analytics to optimize legal services delivery. The reforms have resulted in several internal and external successes.

    "It has become more critical for staff functions to be both a good corporate steward of capital and a partner that generates value,” Sutherland said. ACC Houston and The Texas Lawbook have named Phillips 66 as the recipients of the 2026 Houston Corporate Counsel Award for Legal Innovation.
