Quarterly Deal Update – Q4 2017


Despite the decline in pace of M&A during the last three months of the year, 2017 was a robust year for transactions in Texas. Looking forward, 2018 should be another active year for M&A and Private Placement activity in the Middle Market. The U.S. Tax Reform bill passed in late 2017 coupled with the record amount of Private Equity “dry powder,” should support another strong year of deal making. A full transaction summary for the Central Texas I-35 corridor can be found by following the link below.
