Big law firm Weil Gotshal promoted 17 people to partner with most of them coming from the corporate side. Seven women made the cut, which is about 40 percent of the group and better than their overall gender split. They also bumped 57 lawyers to counsel level.
The promotions got spread across eight offices instead of being stacked in New York like last year. London scored four new partners, while Paris grabbed three and other spots like Dallas and Munich each got one. Most of the action happened in private equity deals and mergers with some litigation and tax people mixed in.
The firm pulled in over two billion in revenue last year and is getting ready for its longtime boss, Barry Wolf, to retire when he hits the mandatory age limit. They already set up new leadership committees to handle the transition.
