  "account": "Paul Weiss legal firm is expanding its private equity practice in New York by adding three former Weil attorneys, according to a report by the Global Legal Post. The new hires, expected to join the firm within the next few weeks, are Timothy Burns, Noah Beck, and Amanda Rotkel. They will be joining fellow Weil associates Amanda Rotkel and two other partners, Chris Machera and Scott Barshay. Machera, who held the position of co-head of Weil's private equity department, recently moved to Paul Weiss in New York. The expansion is aimed at strengthening Paul Weiss' focus on advising private equity clients on significant transactions. This move comes as Weil has experienced senior departures, with former corporate department chair Michael Aiello relocating to Cravath, Swaine & Moore alongside five M&A partners. Other top Weil lawyers, such as London co-managing partner David Avery-Gee and corporate partner Sarah Flaherty, have also found new positions with firms like Sullivan & Cromwell and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.",
