Weil Partners See Exit as Opportunity After Aiello Joins Cravath
Weil, Gotshal’s corporate chair Michael Aiello is leaving for Cravath, but insiders describe a sense of relief rather than mourning: Aiello was highly influential and highly paid, yet viewed as a roadblock to growth and recruitment. Departures like Sachin Kohli and other hiring frictions underscore a push for broader expansion. Weil aims to move forward with a bigger, entrepreneurial platform, turning the leadership change into an opportunity rather than a setback while remaining busy with substantial workload.
