Caption Contest: Weil Still Has A Ghost Of A Chance With A ‘merger’ Partner Like This

What happens when a Biglaw firm suddenly goes out of business? The partners find new firms, the associates update their résumés, and Spirit Halloween apparently starts measuring for signage. With Weil planning to wind down after nearly a century, it seems the seasonal retailer may have found its next location. Talk about a scary development.

The firm spent decades helping clients come back from the dead, but this probably wasn’t the restructuring anyone had in mind. Anyone in the market for a slightly used rainmaker costume?

Here’s the picture for our latest caption contest. Give this Biglaw horror story your best caption.
