Dallas has evolved as a significant economic and financial hub in the United States.
Thomas Haskins, Dallas office managing partner, recently spoke with Irving Mejia-Hilario of the Dallas Morning News about the growth of the city, its thriving and sophisticated business ecosystem, and the opportunities the economic environment presents for financial institutions in and around the Dallas region.
“When the rest of the metroplex does well, it drives traffic back to Dallas,” said Thomas Haskins, office managing partner for business law firm Barnes and Thornburg. He represents financial institutions in and around the city.
“You could say the same thing about the traditional power hubs. In New York, you have a lot of people living in areas like Greenwich and Westchester but working in Manhattan. Same thing with the greater Chicago area,” he said. “For us to have such a sophisticated set up with our cities like Frisco, Plano, Flower Mound, Irving, the list goes on, that makes us a powerful entity.”
