Weil's Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions practices showed compelling gains in rankings in these categories, according to the results of The American Lawyer’s Corporate Scorecard 2012, released yesterday. Weil also was ranked prominently in the Bankruptcy category.

In Private Equity, the article noted, "Weil, Gotshal & Manges shot up from number 13 to number 3 on the deal value rankings advising on private equity acquisitions."

In M&A, Weil is ranked 6th by deal value, up from 8th last year.

And in Bankruptcy, Weil was ranked for advising AMR in the 2nd largest Bankruptcy Filing by assets and for GM as the Top Bankruptcy Emergency.
