Weeks after giving notice to their former firm, six prominent energy partners in Houston left Baker Botts and joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in its new Houston office.

Gerry Spedale, Hillary Holmes, Tull Florey, Shalla Prichard and James Chenoweth joined Gibson Dunn on Thursday as partners in Houston, along with Doug Rayburn, who will be based in Dallas and Houston. They join Gibson Dunn partners Mike Darden and Justin Stolte, who joined the Houston office weeks ago.
