Weil, a 2,000-employee law firm with $2.1B revenue, collapses quietly
jkubicki · x · 2026-10-29
- A major law firm, Weil, with roughly 2,000 employees and $2.1B in revenue has failed — yet it's getting little attention because people assume law firms are full of rich lawyers.
- Most of Weil's 2,000 people aren't equity partners and can't simply walk across the street to another firm.
- The collapse underscores that the costs of big-firm failures fall on ordinary staff, not the elite partners the public imagines.
