Sunny Singh, a prominent restructuring attorney who left Weil, Gotshal & Manges for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in March 2023, has returned to Weil, where he will co-chair the firm’s restructuring department, alongside Matt Barr, Gary Holtzer and Jeffrey Saferstein, the firm said Friday. Singh had led Simpson Thacher's U.S. company-side restructuring team.

Weil’s restructuring is Chambers-ranked Band One and has been for years. However, the departure of Ray Schrock, who was a restructuring co-chair at Weil, to Latham & Watkins in late November raised concerns about the practice. Firm chair Barry Wolf said that his very departure is what led the firm to bring in Singh.
