Kirkland is ranked No. 1 in Texas by deal count for Q1-Q3 2019. 

According to the publication, "in a year when mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures in Texas are down significantly, lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis are actually expanding their position as the go-to M&A law firm for businesses in the state."

...'We've been very fortunate to have a nice spread of deals,' said Kirkland's Andy Calder. 'Our team in Texas has been extremely busy and a lot of our lawyers in other offices outside of Texas have worked on a lot of Texas deals, too.'"
