Crowell & Moring, which last week watched its Anchorage office join Holland & Hart, has also shuttered a small outpost in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Former state Gov. Dave Freudenthal, who helmed the firm’s presence in the city for the past six years, has started his own shop.
Freudenthal, who joined Crowell & Moring as senior counsel in 2011, told The American Lawyer that his departure from the firm on Jan. 1 had been in the works for some time. The Cheyenne office, Freudenthal wrote in an email, mostly existed because he had little interest in relocating to Washington, D.C.
