Opalesque Industry Update - International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP announced today that private equity dealmaker Alice Yuan has joined the firm as a partner in the Private Equity Group, based in the Firm's new Los Angeles office.

"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. Aiello, Chairman of Weil's global Corporate Department. "Her diverse experience will be vital in ensuring that our new Los Angeles office is positioned to advise clients across the full spectrum of private equity transactions."
