NEW YORK, December 22, 2025: International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP announced today that Rex Hupy has joined the Firm as a partner in the U.S. Private Equity Group, based in the New York office.

Rex marks the 9th lateral partner addition within the Firm’s Private Equity Group in 2025. The Firm has grown its PE platform across all geographies – with high-profile partner additions in Los Angeles, Dallas, London, Frankfurt and Munich, and Washington, D.C. over the past year.

Rex advises private equity firms across a wide array of transactions and industries – including consumer products, energy and infrastructure, financial services, media and technology, healthcare, industrials and manufacturing.

“We are delighted to welcome Rex as we continue to enhance our best-in-class private equity platform,” said Weil Executive Partner Barry Wolf. “He brings significant experience guiding top private equity clients across the full range of transactions.”

“Rex has broad experience advising the world's leading private equity sponsors, global investment firms and alternative asset managers on their most complex transactions,” said Michael J. Aiello, Chairman of Weil’s Corporate Department. “His arrival augments our private equity offerings, as we continue to meet growing client demand around the world.”

“As we continue to focus on global multi-asset managers, having partners with Rex’s breadth of experience and depth of relationships is paramount,” said Christopher Machera, Co-Head of Weil’s U.S. Private Equity Practice.  “And a partner with Rex’s entrepreneurial spirit is going to thrive on the Weil’s private equity platform.”

Rex joins Weil from Kirkland & Ellis LLP where he was a corporate partner in that firm’s New York office.   

“For decades, Weil has been recognized for its top tier private equity practice,” Rex said.  “I look forward to helping advance that success into the future, as we provide best-in-market service to our global clients.”
