Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright continues to strengthen its corporate, M&A and securities practice with the addition of high-profile partners John Bonnet III and Mark Pendleton to its Dallas office. They are joined by senior counsel Larry McFarland and associate Hannah Choi.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur business practice group prides itself on helping clients successfully get complex high-value deals across the finish line,\u201d Jeff Cody, Norton Rose Fulbright\u2019s U.S. managing partner as well as one of its two global managing partners, said. \u201cWith John\u2019s substantial corporate M&A practice and Mark\u2019s experience in the healthcare industry, our Dallas office is gaining a dynamic pair of business-minded legal practitioners with deep roots in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnet brings decades of experience in M&A deals, debt and equity financings, investment funds, commercial lending transactions, corporate governance, contracts, general business transactions and other business law matters. He advises companies pursuing strategic alliances and access to capital through equity and debt offerings. His clients include startups, investment fund sponsors, strategic and passive investors, boards of directors and company management.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that our clients are approaching M&A differently in light of global trade uncertainty and regulatory hurdles, and that requires increased adaptability and strategic planning,\u201d Scarlet McNellie, Norton Rose Fulbright\u2019s U.S. co-head of corporate, M&A and securities, said. \u201cJohn and Mark have proven to be trusted advisors who structure sophisticated deals to achieve their clients\u2019 business objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnet, who earned his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law and his bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of Texas, added, \u201cNorton Rose Fulbright\u2019s corporate practice offers top-tier service to clients while also supporting the growth of its lawyers. I am excited for my clients to receive the benefits of this firm\u2019s global reach, deep industry knowledge and focus on excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pendleton\u2019s practice concentrates on the sales and acquisitions of companies and their assets, mergers and financing transactions, private equity platform structures and funds, corporate governance, regulatory matters, joint ventures and other types of corporate and commercial transactions. Focused on the private equity, healthcare and energy industries, his clients include investors, independent sponsors, management service organizations, hospitals, physician practice groups, ambulatory surgery centers, ancillary healthcare providers and startups.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reputation of the firm\u2019s healthcare law practice, with its deep bench in both transactional and regulatory work, was a key driver in my decision to join Norton Rose Fulbright,\u201d Pendleton, who earned his law degree from the Wake Forest University School of Law and his bachelor\u2019s degree from Wake Forest University, said. \u201cI am eager to work with this impressive team of M&A-focused lawyers and those practicing in all aspects of healthcare law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnet, Pendleton and their team join from Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, where Bonnet served as the firm\u2019s managing partner for the Dallas office. Both are licensed to practice in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright continues to strengthen its corporate, M&A and securities practice with the addition…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":788197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-788196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-tx","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-united-states-of-america","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116554590327746687","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
