Two prominent litigation partners from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison are set to depart the firm amid ongoing tensions within its litigation department. Andrew Ehrlich, who co-chairs the firm’s securities litigation and enforcement group, confirmed his exit but stated he has no immediate plans for his next steps. This departure follows a series of exits and leadership changes at the firm, which have raised concerns about its evolving identity, particularly as it shifts focus towards mergers and acquisitions and private equity practices. Legal industry observers note that these changes, coupled with associate cuts and controversies surrounding the firm’s dealings with the Trump administration, have contributed to a significant transformation within Paul Weiss.
