About

Following a three-year stint in BigLaw, David Wermuth moved in-house in 1999 and has not looked back since. ‘Early on, he quickly became indispensable to the execution of every transaction by proving to be an exceptionally skilled General Counsel’, says Rebecca Silberstein of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. ‘He leads every negotiation with a combination of brilliant lawyering and a highly commercial business perspective’. When Stone Point spun out from Marsh & McLennan in early 2005, Wermuth became a founding partner, firmly cementing his involvement with the day-to-day involvement in the business. These days, as a member of the firm’s investment committee, he has a prominent say in investment and disposition decision-making for the firm.
