We had a guy leave to go in house at a rival of said large client only to get reorganized out of the job and come back with visions of big billings from his old colleagues. I was part of the "team" for them, which meant when the in house lawyer was swamped or had neglected something, she'd loop me in at the last second and then complain that I hadn't fixed it. She eventually got fired after the figured out that she was the problem. I, personally, never heard from them again.
He did get some ongoing business from them, I think, but he eventually left again.
