HOUSTON (Feb. 19) – Capital markets lawyer Doug McWilliams returned Monday from a skiing vacation in Utah to find his office on the 36th floor of First City Tower in downtown Houston being packed in preparation for his first job change in his 21-year legal career.

“I walked into the office and it looked like home, but I suddenly felt like a stranger,” McWilliams said Thursday.
