Firm Overview: Founded in 1931, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is a preeminent provider of legal services. With offices on three continents, Weil has been a pioneer in establishing a geographic footprint to partner with clients wherever they do business. The firm’s four departments, corporate, litigation, restructuring, and tax, executive compensation and benefits, and more than two dozen practice groups are consistently recognised as leaders in their respective fields.

Offices and Main Areas of Practice:

France: Weil’s Paris office enjoys a reputation as one of the leading business law firms in France. The office regularly handles the most challenging domestic and cross-border transactions, disputes, business and financial restructurings and provides counseling to corporations, private equity (PE) funds, financial institutions, public organisations, senior management, board of directors and individuals in sensitive situations. Weil’s highly experienced lawyers are recognised for their pragmatic approach and their commitment to clients’ interests. The sophistication, global reach, experience and personal involvement of its partners is well known, and the firm is consistently ranked at the top of France’s legal market.

Germany: Weil’s two offices in Germany since the early 2000s, in Frankfurt and Munich, have positioned themselves as premier transactional practices in the country, seamlessly supporting sophisticated, cross-border transactions for international and domestic clients. Areas of focus include PE, M&A and restructuring/distressed M&A. Our German lawyers also advise on dispute resolution, finance, tax, antitrust and employment matters.

England: Established in 1996, Weil’s London office is its largest European office. It supports European, U.S. and global private equity houses, corporates and financial institutions on domestic and cross-border matters. Key practices include private equity, corporate/M&A, private funds, banking and finance, structured finance, restructuring and dispute resolution, with a recent focus on real asset (infrastructure and real estate) investments. The office frequently fields multi-disciplinary teams across the specialist fields of tax, competition, corporate governance and compliance, intellectual property, technology, data privacy, employment, management incentives and real estate. Weil’s London office is involved in some of the highest-profile, most prestigious mandates across all legal specialisms.
