Private equity star Rosen set to join DLA Piper

Former Weil Gotshal & Manges private equity star Will Rosen is set to join DLA Piper in January. Rosen, who left Weil in July, has been in talks with a number of firms since August. DLA Piper partners received voting papers on Rosen's appointment yesterday (6 December) but, according to the firm's joint chief executive Nigel Knowles, the vote is just a formality.
