Weil partner Kathleen Aka has been named once again among The Growth Drivers in The A-List 2024-2025 by China Business Law Journal, which recognizes PRC and international lawyers in Greater China who are “proving themselves time and again to be instrumental in navigating complex listings, investments, acquisitions, restructurings and disputes.”

With over 20 years of experience in restructuring and insolvency matters across the Asia-Pacific region, Kathleen, based in Hong Kong, leads Weil’s Asia Restructuring practice. Kathleen has diverse experience advising clients across the full gamut of distressed situations, and her comprehensive skillset straddling both contentious and non-contentious work has been well recognized by clients and the wider industry. This honor is a reflection of Kathleen’s solid reputation in China’s restructuring space and a testament to clients’ commendation of her ability to “understand how to navigate difficult circumstances and get a deal across the line,” and provide “absolutely top tier,” “sophisticated legal advice.”

Highly regarded by China’s legal industry, the A-List is based on extensive research conducted by China Business Law Journal, and reflects the nominations received from thousands of in-house counsels and legal practitioners in China and globally, combined with the editorial team’s extensive, collective experience in analyzing China’s legal market.
