Michael Darden, chair of the oil and gas transactions group and co-chair of the oil and gas industry team at Latham & Watkins, is headed to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s new office in Houston.
Latham recently pulled Darden’s biography page from its website, and Darden’s State Bar of Texas profile now shows his affiliation with Gibson Dunn. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment about his decision to leave Latham, but Gibson Dunn subsequently confirmed his move in a press release. Also joining Gibson Dunn is former Latham lawyer Justin Stolte, most recently in-house at Houston-based oil and gas exploration and production company Apache Corp.
