Part of the overall corporate department, Weil's media and entertainment practice has expertise in private equity, M&A, capital markets, finance and IP matters. The team has been active this year on a multitude of prominent M&A deals within a range of media industries, including HIT Entertainment's multimillion-dollar acquisition by Mattel, and with theater chain AMC Entertainment, on its sale to Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group.  Sources say: “A great firm to work with. I have seen Weil from both sides of the table and have been impressed by them. They are very respectful.”
