Weil, Gotshal & Manges has lured away prominent bankruptcy partner Ray Schrock from rival Kirkland & Ellis in a move that will bolster its own signature practice.

Schrock, 43, had served as a partner in Kirkland’s restructuring group, where he represented debtors, nondebtor parent companies, private equity and financial institutions as well as secured and unsecured creditors in restructuring matters, according to the firm’s website, which still contained Schrock’s profile as Friday.
