"We are very pleased to welcome Alice as a key member of our growing Los Angeles private equity team," said Weil Executive Partner Barry Wolf. "She is an accomplished dealmaker and will be instrumental to our growth in California as we expand to meet the evolving needs of our current and future clients."

"Alice's experience advising leading sponsors and their portfolio companies across a wide range of transactions makes her an ideal partner for our West Coast expansion," said Michael J.
