Alice Yuan, who spent the last several years growing the private equity practice of boutique Massumi + Consoli after departing private equity giant Kirkland & Ellis, has rejoined Big Law as a partner in Weil, Gotshal & Manges’ Los Angeles office.

There, she will reunite with Tana Ryan, her former colleague at Kirkland, who now heads up Weil’s Los Angeles office, the firm said Monday. Weil opened offices this summer in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
