dxf2shp (http://www.spatialorder.com/downloads.htm).
You have first to convert the dwg in dxf:
http://www.autodwg.com/DWG_DXF_Converter/ is a 15-days trial,
http://www.a9tech.com/products/a9converter/ is free...

there is also cad2shape: http://www.guthcad.com/cad2shape.htm, another
trial version.

there is a lot of tools: http://www.google.com/search?q=convert+dwg+to+dxf
