The Hollywood Reporter has recognized three Weil partners across two of its prestigious 2026 honors.
Entertainment, Sports and Media Head Tom Ara and Complex Commercial Litigation partner Bo Pearl were named to the magazine’s “Hollywood’s 100 Most Powerful Lawyers” list, while Complex Commercial Litigation senior partner David Yohai was included in its “Hollywood’s Legal Legends of 2026.”
Tom and Bo were recognized among the entertainment industry’s top lawyers whose work over the past year – through key deals or cases – has helped shape Hollywood.
David, one of only six attorneys selected to the “Legal Legends” group, was honored for a body of work that “has left a lasting mark on Hollywood and the law.”
The Hollywood Reporter also highlighted the team’s work advising global media companies, talent agencies, and financiers on significant transactions and high-stakes litigation.
