NEW YORK, JUNE 23, 2025: International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP announced today that Menachem Danishefsky has joined the Firm as a partner in the Tax Department, based in the New York office.

Menachem’s practice spans an array of tax matters primarily associated with the private investment fund space, including mergers and acquisitions, fund formation, international tax and financial restructuring.

“Menachem is highly regarded for his work guiding private equity investors and fund managers in their most complex tax matters,” said Weil Executive Partner Barry Wolf. “We are delighted to welcome him to Weil.”

“Menachem’s unique skills and experience make him an ideal fit for our team as the Firm strives to meet the growing needs of our clients in the private funds space,” said Joseph Pari, Co-Chair of Weil’s Tax Department. “His sophisticated knowledge of private funds tax law will be of great value to our clients as we continue to grow our platform in the years ahead.”

Menachem advises both sponsors and limited partners on the tax aspects of investment structures.

He assists clients in navigating specific and general tax concerns that arise in a number of industries.
