Weil Loses Corporate Chair and M&A Team to Cravath in Major Lateral Raid

Michael Aiello, the chair of Weil Gotshal & Manges’s corporate department, is leaving for Cravath Swaine & Moore with a team of approximately six M&A partners, including co-head Matt Gilroy. While Cravath praised the group as a cultural fit, Weil described Cravath as a 'smaller platform' and vowed to accelerate its growth strategy. The move represents a significant loss for Weil, which has recently added 51 lateral partners, and highlights ongoing competition for top-tier dealmakers in the legal market.
