Weil Joins Nat’l Firms in Relocating Partners to Texas  

Weil, Gotshal & Manges announced Monday that it is moving Gabe Morgan, a partner in its New York’s bankruptcy and restructuring practice, to its Houston office.

New York-based Weil is the latest large national corporate law firm to relocate partners and associates from their other offices to Texas due to the tight legal market where the demand for legal services has far outpaced the supply of experienced legal talent. Kirkland & Ellis, Sidley Austin and Jones Day have announced such moves in recent months. Weil also transferred two New York associates to Texas during the past year.
