Yvette Ostolaza and seven other partners in Weil, Gotshal & Manges’ Dallas office found themselves the talk of the Texas legal market in September, when word got out they would move to Sidley Austin in Dallas.
The large lateral move garnered a lot of attention, not only for its size but also because of its stalled timing. Sidley announced on Sept. 17 that the eight partners would join its Dallas office in September, but the lawyers could not transition until Weil released them. That took nearly a month; the partners, led by Ostolaza, weren’t able to change their work address until Oct. 15, although a number of associates did make a speedier departure.
