Weil Gotshal & Manges’ City practice seems more contradictory by the day. Reinforced by a productive team recruited from Lovells last year, an office with partner talent to spare has chalked up an impressive run of mandates. Instructions from Terra Firma and Providence Equity Partners have come alongside a market-topping run in the US, where the firm has secured the pick of the current surge of buy-outs; a trend underlined by its current role on the Bell Canada P2P.
And only last month Weil Gotshal made a dramatic statement of intent when it switched its UK pay scale from mid-Atlantic to levels above the going benchmark on Wall Street. In a legal market driven by buy-outs, structured finance and currently desperately gearing up for a new wave of restructuring, everything should be clicking into place.
