It may seem like old news that Shearman & Sterling is opening an office in Houston. But the firm’s announcement in early March that it had plans to enter the city came before a 90-day notice period ended for the Baker Botts partners who were leaving to start Shearman’s new outpost.
With that window now closed, the partners have officially made the jump and concluded a waiting period that is rarely enforced within Big Law.
