Weil, Gotshal & Manges has beefed up its private equity team in New York with the hire of partner Brian Gingold from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Weil announced this week.
The move comes after a number of private equity partners have left Weil for rival firms in recent years. Last year, David Blittner and Garrett Charon left for Ropes & Gray; Eric Schwartzman joined Cooley; and Michael Weisser and Sarah Stasny both joined Kirkland & Ellis. All were based in New York except for Schwartzman, who is in Palo Alto, California.
