Weil has been shortlisted for two honors at the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers North America Awards 2025. The awards recognize “the innovative ways lawyers are delivering value for clients and driving positive change in the profession.”

Weil was shortlisted in the “Innovative Lawyers in Dealmaking” category 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.

The Firm was also named a finalist in the “Innovation in Knowledge & Data” category 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 is the third honor DealVision360 has garnered in 2025. It was shortlisted in the “Innovations: Firms” category at the New York Law Journal’s New York Legal Awards and is a finalist for “Best use of Technology” at The American Lawyer’s Industry Awards.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in New York on December 8. A special report will also be published about the honorees in which the Financial Times will detail the trends and changes occurring in the legal sector.
