Troutman Pepper Locke partner comments on Texas dealmaking uncertainty

Troutman Pepper Locke partner Jennie Simmons commented on the current Texas M&A environment in a Texas Lawbook article.

• Simmons said the near-term outlook for dealmaking is uncertain, though she still sees a constructive environment in energy and infrastructure.
• She added that deals already in motion may continue, while tax law or other legislative changes under President Trump could accelerate some transactions; she also noted possible impacts from Texas state regulation on data center development.
