Lawdragon 500 has selected four Haynes Boone lawyers in the 2025 directory of the nation’s leading dealmakers: Michael Boone, Ricardo Garcia-Moreno, George Y. Gonzalez and Tom Harris.
The Lawdragon editorial team recognized 500 honorees through submissions, journalistic research of the lawyers behind the biggest deals and editorial vetting from a board of peers. The Dealmakers guide focuses on M&A, Capital Markets, Finance, Tax, Corporate Governance, Private Equity, Investment Funds and Securities matters.
“From New York to Dallas to Silicon Valley, they are the beating heart of business in the U.S. and far, far beyond,” the publication states. “To be a dealmaker in 2025 is inherently international, so the past year has been full of uncertainty and a fair amount of chaos, as well as the ever-present intersection of opportunity, risk and reward.”
