Davis Polk & Wardwell

Capital markets

A founding partner of Davis Polk's Menlo Park office, Dallas advised clients this year on a slew of initial public offerings, note and stock offerings and debt restructuring transactions.

Dallas advised Adobe Systems Inc. on its SEC-registered debt offering of $1.5 billion that closed in January, which marked the first time Adobe has tapped the capital markets since its initial public offering in 1986.

Dallas helped dust the cobwebs off Silicon Valley technology IPOs in March during MaxLinear Inc.'s initial public offering; he represented Morgan Stanley & Co. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the book-running managers for the offering.

The next month, he assisted Comcast Corp., which will soon control NBC Universal Inc. as a subsidiary, as NBC offered $4 billion in senior notes in a private placement. The notes are part of the $9.1 billion in financing that NBC is raising as part of a joint venture between Comcast and General Electric Co.
