Weil is in the midst of a crashing wave of exits, with nearly 60 partners leaving, or announcing their intention to leave since January this year, with more than half of these exits coming since August.
Many of those leaving have held office or practice leadership positions at Weil, and it emerged this week that Ramona Nee, who had been set to become the firm’s next executive partner, had told partners that she is not taking the job, with Semafor suggesting that she has held discussions to join Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.
