Jackson Walker’s standing in The Texas Lawbook’s M&A Deal Count By Law Firms list has advanced to No. 8 in Texas. This marks the third consecutive year that Jackson Walker has risen in the rankings.

The Texas Lawbook maintains a Corporate Deal Tracker database of M&A deals, which includes mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and private equity/venture capital investments. Each quarter, the publication issues an in-depth report outlining deal activity for the top law firms and attorneys who lead those deals in Texas.

“Ranking No. 8 demonstrates Jackson Walker’s continued growth in both the magnitude and value of our corporate and securities practice,” said Richard F. Dahlson, Dallas-based leader of the Corporate and Securities practice group, which is one of the largest in the state.

“Our 2018 activity has accelerated, and we anticipate a significant growth in the number and value of deals this year.”
