Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Weil, Gotshal & Manges has forged an excellent reputation internationally through a global platform principally built around its transactional capabilities. The law firm's primary headquarters in New York and its impressive London base both act as important global hubs and are coupled with a far-reaching network of offices which extends across the USA and Europe, with Asian operations run from China. All the firm's offices have a principal focus on advising international banks, large multinational corporations and private equity funds. The firm typically offers strength in cross-border finance, restructuring, high-end M&A and tax across its platform.

Offering strong capabilities across finance, the firm is a global force in private equity, and the London office is a key hub in generating and running transactional work. The London teams often collaborate with colleagues in Western and Eastern Europe, China and more prevalently the USA, as well as proficiently liaising with local law firms for clients. The UK team performs strongly in representing UK, US and global sponsors and alternative lenders in cross-border financing. London teams also offer solid abilities in lender representation and across capital markets products.
