NEW YORK, January 21, 2026: International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP announced today that Corey Dietrich has joined the Firm as a partner in its U.S. Private Funds Group, based in the New York office.

Corey primarily represents buyers and sellers, as well as private fund sponsors, in connection with complex secondary transactions, including GP-led transactions and traditional sales and purchases of fund interests. He has extensive experience guiding single asset spin-out arrangements, fund recapitalizations, preferred financings and “stapled” secondary transactions. 

“Corey has led some of the largest and highest-profile secondaries transactions in the market over the past several years, and we are delighted to welcome him to the Firm,” said Weil Executive Partner Barry Wolf. “He is an ideal cultural fit for our team with deep industry expertise in an area of increasing client demand.”

“Corey has built a strong reputation for being technically excellent, commercially savvy and client-focused,” said Michael J. Aiello, Chairman of Weil’s Corporate Department. “He has extensive experience representing both the buy-side and sell-side, which will be invaluable for our clients as this market continues to grow and evolve.”

“Corey has quickly established himself as a driving force in the fast‑emerging, private credit secondaries markets,” said U.S. Private Funds Co-Head Stephanie Srulowitz and Private Equity partner Brian Parness. “We remain laser-focused on helping our clients capitalize on the vast opportunity in the secondaries markets, and Corey’s arrival marks an important step forward in this effort.”

Corey joins Weil from Proskauer Rose LLP where he was a partner in that firm’s private funds group.

“I’m thrilled to join Weil as the Firm continues to expand its renowned Private Funds platform,” said Corey Dietrich. “I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to give our clients the clear, actionable guidance they need to navigate today’s fast changing markets.”
