Texas Capital Markets and M&A Surging?
The 21st M&A Institute Conference in Dallas last week was outstanding — packed with valuable insights on current trends shaping the mergers and acquisitions market.
A personal highlight was hearing from, and then briefly meeting, Nicole Chambers, Global Managing Director of Listings at the Texas Stock Exchange. I shared with Nicole that early in my legal career, I had the privilege of attending several workshops at the New York Stock Exchange. I expressed my hope that the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) will develop similar programs to help lawyers deepen their understanding of capital raises and listings to empower us to better guide our clients as the Texas market continues to grow.
It was a privilege to hear from some of the nation’s top legal and business minds, including partners from Skadden, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Weil Gotshal, along with a Texas Business Court judge and professors from Columbia and the University of Texas Schools of Law.
Exciting developments are ahead for Texas on both the capital-raising and M&A fronts!
