Weil received two honors at the 2025 Financial Times North America Innovative Lawyers Awards, held in New York City on December 8, 2025.

The Firm was recognized in the “Practice of law – Dealmaking” category and was “Highly commended” for advising The Home Depot in its $18.25B acquisition of SRS Distribution Inc. The transaction, which closed in just three months, was the largest in The Home Depot’s history and one of the largest exits of a private equity asset to a strategic buyer to date. Earlier this year, Corporate Department Chairman Michael J. Aiello and Mergers & Acquisitions partner Eoghan Keenan were named among The American Lawyer’s 2025 “Dealmakers of the Year” for guiding The Home Depot in its acquisition of SRS.

Weil was also recognized in the “Business of law – Knowledge and data” category. The Firm was “Commended” for the launch of DealVision360, a proprietary database of deal terms. The tool is the industry’s most extensive private deal terms database, providing valuable, data-driven insights and market benchmarking capabilities. This marks the third honor DealVision360 has received in 2025; it was previously shortlisted in the “Innovations: Firms” category at the New York Law Journal’s New York Legal Awards and was a finalist for “Best Use of Technology” at The American Lawyer Industry Awards.

The recognitions were awarded by RSGI researchers and Financial Times editors. To view the full North American Innovative Lawyers Special Report, please visit Financial Times.
