Dallas lawyer Kevin Crews, whose move to Kirkland & Ellis‘ Dallas office was delayed by a notice hold imposed by his former firm, said he’s been hard at work since he joined his new firm last week and “everything ended up just fine” despite his rocky departure from Weil, Gotshal & Manges.

“I’ve been very busy right off the bat,” said Crews, who reportedly transitioned clients to other Weil Gotshal lawyers well before he left. Crews represents private equity clients and does M&A work, primarily in the energy sector.
