After 33 years with the firm, former co-chair of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison’s corporate department, Toby Myerson, is leaving to form his own business advisory boutique at the start of next year.
At his new venture, Longsight Strategic Advisors, Myerson will advise corporate leaders, boards of directors and business owners on governance issues, complicated transactions and crisis management. He said he hopes to fill a niche advising managers when they face unprecedented crises, naming the scandals engulfing Wells Fargo, Volkswagen and Mylan Inc. as examples.
Myerson will remain at Paul Weiss for the remainder of 2016 to help facilitate a “gentle transition,” and said he’s hoping to have his new firm up and running in January. In a statement, Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp wished Myerson well and said he will be missed at the firm.
