May 20, 2007

Patrick Oxford, managing partner of Bracewell & Giuliani is interviewed by Houston Chronicle's Mary Flood for "Texas-based, globally oriented." Oxford said that globalization of the economy has had a huge effect on all major American law firms. "Corporate governance scandals and Sarbanes-Oxley have brought a very tight and complicated regulatory scheme to American capital markets, and as a result, many new companies outside the United States are choosing to seek funds in the London capital markets as opposed to New York. The energy markets are booming worldwide as well, said Oxford.
