Changes are on the horizon for Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, as two new co-chairs, Andrew Nussbaum and William Savitt, are set to assume leadership of the prestigious law firm’s executive committee. These appointments follow the decision by the current co-chairs, Ed Herlihy and Daniel Neff, to step aside after more than 15 years of service.
Nussbaum, a highly-regarded corporate partner, and Savitt, co-chair of the litigation department, have been appointed to guide the law firm into its next phase. Their predecessors, Herlihy and Neff, have directed the firm since 2006 and have been instrumental in managing a period of significant growth.
Despite their departure from these leading roles, Herlihy and Neff, will continue to serve as key members of the executive committee, lending their deep experience and insights to support the firm’s future undertakings.
