Weil continues to demonstrate the Firm’s excellence in Asia, having received top-tier practice area and individual recognitions in the Legal 500 Greater China rankings for 2024.

Weil Asia’s outstanding expertise and accomplishments across multiple practice areas are evident in the new rankings and client testimonials. All of Weil’s pillar practices in Asia, including Banking & Finance, Corporate/M&A, Private Equity and Restructuring & Insolvency, were recommended as top-tier in the region. Clients lauded our team’s “unparalleled levels of professionalism,” with attorneys who demonstrated “deep cross-border knowledge and execution capability” and “consistently went above and beyond to deliver a complex project across multiple time zones and jurisdictions.”
