Business as usual may be on hold in the U.S., but Big Law partners are still making moves, even if remote work protocols and economic uncertainties have upended the usual lateral rhythms.

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher is among the latest firms onboarding new partners in the new normal, adding Paul Hastings private equity partner Stefan dePozsgay to its New York office. And three days after his arrival, dePozsgay said Tuesday that the process has gone remarkably smoothly.

"We began remotely in every single way," dePozsgay said in an interview. "I've been really impressed with it. These are logistically challenging times, but it has been much easier than I thought."
