Paul, Weiss Loses Two More Litigation Partners. The Firm Would Like You To Know Everything Is Fine. - Above the Law

Andrew Ehrlich, a 24-year Paul, Weiss litigation partner and co-chair of the securities litigation and enforcement group, is departing at the end of the month. He represented public companies, boards, and alternative asset managers in shareholder and governance disputes. Ehrlich said he told firm leadership late last year that it was time for a new chapter and expects his next role to be in the nonprofit or public sector. Roberto Gonzalez, co-chair of the firm’s economic sanctions and anti-money laundering practice, is also leaving. He is moving to Paul Hastings to chair its sanctions and AML team, bringing experience spanning litigation and corporate advisory regulatory work. His client experience includes major financial and technology companies.

"After 24 rewarding years at Paul, Weiss, I told firm leadership late last year that it is time for a new chapter. I am enormously proud of and grateful for the challenging work that defined my career at Paul, Weiss and the incredible colleagues with whom I collaborated. While I have not settled on exactly what comes next, my expectation is that it will be in the nonprofit or public sector."

"Ehrlich added that "the Paul, Weiss litigation department is, and will continue to be, the gold standard in client representation," which is, to be generous, a gracious thing to say on your way out the door."

"Also departing is Roberto Gonzalez, who co-chaired the firm's economic sanctions and anti-money laundering practice. Gonzalez, based in Washington, D.C., is heading to Paul Hastings, where he'll chair the firm's sanctions and AML team. His client roster - Amazon, BlackRock, Capital One, Google, JPMorgan, Shopify, Equifax, Tencent - speaks for itself, as does the enthusiasm with which Paul Hastings is receiving him."

"The firm's global managing partner Sherrese Smith called his hire "an amazing opportunity," noting his rare ability to straddle both litigation and corporate advisory work on regulatory matters."
