Morgan Stanley rainmaker Robert Kindler is leaving the investment bank for law firm Paul Weiss. Kindler, global chair of mergers and acquisitions at Morgan Stanley, has been named global chair of M&A at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. "Paul, Weiss has the premier franchise for M&A and activism defense and I am excited to become a part of it." Last year, Paul Weiss represented the board of McDonald's in its proxy fight with activist investor Carl Icahn. In 2000, he joined JPMorgan, where he was named global head of M&A before joining Morgan Stanley in 2006.

☆ Veteran Morgan Stanley dealmaker Rob Kindler to join law firm

June 6 (Reuters) - Rob Kindler, a top executive at Morgan Stanley (MS.N), is leaving the investment bank after a 17-year stint to join a major law firm. The veteran dealmaker will join Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison as the global chair of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the law firm said on Tuesday. A New Yorker, Kindler began his legal practice at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, another major law firm where he spent nearly two decades. "I am delighted to once again have him as my partner," said Barshay, who is the chair of the Paul, Weiss' corporate department. Kindler's return to legal practice coincides with a challenging period for the industry, which like investment banks, has been navigating a dreary environment for dealmaking.

☆ Dealmakers expect pick-up in activity despite 'brick wall' facing M&A

"There is a brick wall in front of M&A activity," said Anu Aiyengar, global head of M&A at JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N). "We are in for choppiness," said Scott Barshay, chair of the corporate department at law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. And it's a giant struggle because there's a lot of dry powder for the equity part of private equity deals. Dealmakers, however, said they expect the impact from the banking crisis on broader M&A activity to be contained, as most of the worst affected regional banks are not major advisers or lenders on deals. The technology sector remains the best hunting ground for corporate acquirers or private equity financiers, deal advisors said.
