"The management committee fully endorsed the decision. There was no acrimony when we made the recommendation. We did it the Weil way: no election, no pitting people against each other, and always thinking about the firm first."
"[Romona] has risen to the occasion in every aspect of her professional life, dealing with clients, leadership issues and the like. She was not asking for this job. But her loyalty and devotion to the firm, as well as her ability to handle difficult situations, made it an easy choice."
"I look forward to working with [Barry,] the Management Committee, and all of my fellow partners during the transition period as we continue to serve our clients, support our people and continue attracting the best talent in the legal profession."
Weil Gotshal & Manges announced that Ramona Nee, currently co-managing partner, will become the firm's next executive partner, making her the first woman to hold this position in the firm's history. Nee, a Boston University School of Law graduate who joined Weil in 2002, serves as co-chair of the U.S. private equity practice and co-managing partner of the Boston office. She will succeed Barry Wolf, who retires at the beginning of 2027. Jonathan Soler will become sole managing partner. Wolf praised Nee's loyalty, devotion, and ability to handle difficult situations. Nee expressed optimism about continuing to serve clients, support employees, and attract top talent during the transition.
