Any issues or would it be weird to use a contact from a client as a reference for a lateral?

The person I'm thinking of is no longer with the client but was formerly an officer and the legal contact person of a client. I worked very closely with them and I think they would speak highly of me and my client service skills. I think I could get around concerns of confidentiality by speaking with the reference in advance, highlighting the issue and asking them not to identify the client.

🤷🏼‍♂️ In-house v. more trial experience? I’m a junior partner (insurance *coverage*) with one 2nd chair trial. I *might* have a few more trials in the next 3-4 years, but maybe not. Should I stick around 3-4 more years or go in-house at insurer now? My goal is to try to maximize my skill set and, if I go in-house, return to private practice eventually w/ some client contacts from my in-house work. Any advice??? I’m really conflicted on this. 🤔
