M&A lawyer Christina Marshall has returned to Haynes and Boone as a partner in Dallas after spending a few years working as general counsel for a Dallas company and then managing her own small firm.

Marshall, who rejoined Haynes and Boone last week, said not a second of her time away from the firm was wasted because she learned so much from the client’s perspective while in-house, and also about firm management as an owner of her firm, Keating Marshall. But when Haynes and Boone asked her to consider returning to the firm, she jumped at the opportunity.
