Paul Hastings Chair: ‘A Ton of Opportunity for Us in Texas’

As eight new corporate finance partners settle into their new Houston and Dallas digs at Paul Hastings this week, the law firm’s leader told The Texas Lawbook that “we are not going to stop there.”

“There are other practice areas we are exploring,” Paul Hastings chair Frank Lopez said in an interview, citing merger and acquisitions, private equity and corporate restructuring as potential practices for future growth in the state. “There’s a ton of opportunity in Texas. Texas may be our No. 1 priority. It is fertile ground for us.”
