Weil has been named to the “2021 Appellate Hot List” by The National Law Journal in recognition of our recent victories before the U.S. Supreme Court, state supreme courts and federal circuit courts.
The publication profiled Weil in a Q&A with Appeals and Strategic Counseling practice Co-Head Gregory Silbert. He discussed Weil’s impressive track record and the team effort that goes into arguing “the straightest path to victory.”
Greg highlighted the growth and dynamism of the Appellate practice, particularly the impact Co-Head Zack Tripp has delivered since joining Weil almost two years ago from the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office, and the depth of talent in the team.
The Appellate practice is led by some of the most experienced litigators and trial lawyers in the country, but the results also reflect the excellence of the group’s up-and-coming attorneys.
“I really enjoy arguing and brief-writing, but my favorite thing about the job is working with junior lawyers,” Greg said. “The talent of our appellate associates just blows my mind.”
The National Law Journal’s plaudits further establish the Litigation Department as an industry leader. In addition to this most recent award, since 2017, Weil has been recognized as:
- A Finalist in the 2021 Litigation Department of the Year contest by the New York Law Journal (General Litigation Category)
- A Winner of the 2020 Litigation Department of the Year contest by the New York Law Journal (Class Action Category)
- An Honorable Mention in the 2020 Litigation Department of the Year contest by The American Lawyer (General Litigation Category)
- A Winner of the 2018 Litigation Department of the Year contest by the New York Law Journal (Class Action Category)
- An Honorable Mention in the national 2018 Litigation Department of the Year contest by The American Lawyer (General Litigation Category)
- A Finalist in the national 2018 Litigation Department of the Year contest by The American Lawyer (Product Liability Category)
- A Winner of the 2017 Florida Litigation Department of the Year contest by the Daily Business Review (General Litigation Category)
The winners of the “Appellate Hot List” were announced in August and honored at The National Law Journal Legal Awards on October 20, 2021.
