Keith Fullenweider Quoted in The American Lawyer: “Data Center Work, Litigation Fuel Another Record Year for Vinson & Elkins”

Media Coverage


The American Lawyer analyzed Vinson & Elkins’ financial results in 2025, highlighting how the firm reached a high-water mark for revenue, net income, profits per partner, and other key financial metrics.

On the transactional side, data center work kept lawyers busy, with the firm’s attorneys handling more than 100 transactions in that space, Fullenweider told the publication.
