Wachtell Brings On a Lateral Partner
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz has taken a step toward making its executive compensation and benefits practice whole again. After losing two partners in recent months, the firm has quietly hired Michael Segal, the former co-head of executive compensation and benefits at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. The move is an unusual one for Wachtell, which has rarely sought out lateral partners. In the firm's 42-year history, just two other partners have lateraled into the firm. Wachtell did not go out of its way to advertise the move. The firm did not issue a press release regarding the hire of Segal. And beyond confirming that he will start at Wachtell on Monday, Segal declined to comment, citing Wachtell policy. (A single line about the move did appear in a New York Times column in late March.) The firm apparently needed the hire. According to the firm's Web site, Jeannemarie O'Brien is the firm's lone executive compensation partner.
