CORPORATE REMAINED the key focus of Weil Gotshal & Manges’ London office, representing 51 per cent of revenue in 2005.

However, the firm’s ambition to become the global leader in private equity was not translated into revenue or profit growth in London, both of which fell below the targeted 10 per cent increases.

This was due largely to the office managing to close fewer than one in three corporate transactions, despite securing 160 mandates in 2005. The office’s star hire of former Lovells partner Marco Compagnoni and his team in April 2006 is, however, expected to correct this for the current financial year.

Weil operates an entirely merit-based compensation system.
