Very clever move to let his clients know they should keep tabs on him. It advertises his integrity and informs people he's leaving.

I thought the same thing, it's very obvious that he's starting either his own firm, or will land somewhere else, and this article is a public attempt to retain his clients and advertise to new ones.
