Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C. has expanded its Corporate & Securities and M&A practices with the addition of Josh Pleitz as a Shareholder in its Dallas office, according to a Business Wire announcement issued October 21, 2026. Pleitz brings more than 16 years of experience advising public and private companies, private equity funds and institutional investors on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, strategic investments and other corporate matters.

Rob Kibby, Munsch Hardt's Corporate & Securities Section Head, described Pleitz as a deal lawyer clients want at the table when the stakes are high, citing his combination of business judgment, negotiating skill and experience across M&A and the public markets. Pleitz's practice includes domestic and cross-border transactions involving complex deal structures. He also counsels public companies on SEC reporting, stock exchange compliance and corporate governance. His experience spans energy, technology, health care, financial services, food and beverage and consumer products, involving both U.S. and international businesses.

Pleitz has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America, which named him among its "Ones to Watch" in Mergers and Acquisitions Law, and by Super Lawyers as a Texas Rising Star. He earned his J.D., with honors, from The University of Texas at Austin and his bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, from Arizona State University.

Pleitz's arrival follows other 2026 shareholder additions at the firm, including Corporate & Securities and M&A Shareholders Matthew K. Good and Robert White in Dallas, Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Insolvency Shareholder Tara LeDay in Austin, and Litigation Shareholder Brent A. Turman in Dallas.
