Texas Corporate Lawyers Reach Beyond State's Borders for Business

Oil and gas M&A may be down significantly in 2015, but the Texas law firms that specialize in energy transactions are still getting the most deal work. But they are having to look outside of the state to get new business.

New data compiled by Mergermarket and The Texas Lawbook’s Corporate Deal Tracker shows continued shifts in the legal marketplace. The premier M&A legal practices continue to get more and more of the top dollar transactional work. A smaller handful of law firms are capturing the mid-market deal activity. Wall Street law firms continue to steal away their share of M&A work from large Texas-based companies.
