Weil Gotshal recommends orderly wind-down of London office, partners to vote

Weil, Gotshal & Manges' management committee recommended an orderly wind-down of its London office, and partners are set to vote on the proposal, the firm said. The decision follows a recent wave of senior partner exits and the collapse of a planned merger with Willkie Farr & Gallagher. Earlier, the firm hired restructuring experts from Davis Polk after the departures and senior partners urged junior lawyers to seek new employment while the firm evaluated its future.
