Weil, Gotshal & Manges has hired Thomas Henry, who was Willkie Farr & Gallagher’s New York office co-managing partner and co-chair of its real estate department, his new firm said Monday. He will assume the role of co-head of Weil’s U.S. real estate practice alongside fellow co-head Philip Rosen.

Weil executive partner Barry Wolf noted in a statement that Henry “has been the lead lawyer on some of the largest and most high-profile commercial real estate transactions in recent years,” and he will bring “invaluable experience” to Weil.
