By Jacob Murad ( November 5, 2026, 2:14 PM EST) -- The news feeds of lawyers and CEOs in North America have recently blown up due to Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP’s billion-dollar U.S. law firm dissolving seemingly overnight leaving hundreds looking for new work. It seems only yesterday that this happened with Minden Gross and Heenan Blaikie in Canada. When this happens, the speed with which it seems to happen always leaves those reading about it scratching their heads: how is it possible that this could happen to such large firms? Is the legal industry secure? Is it AI, poor culture or something nefarious causing this? If you are an employee or partner at a law firm or a law firm owner, how can you mitigate these risks?...
