Weil’s latest IRLF1000 Asia-Pacific rankings continue to demonstrate the Firm’s longstanding market leading position in private equity, with Weil’s China and Hong Kong Private Equity practices achieving a Tier 1 ranking for the 14th and 11th year in a row respectively. Weil’s Asia M&A, Restructuring and Insolvency, Banking and Leveraged Finance practices were likewise highly recognized.

As a testament to our deep bench of expertise in Asia, a majority of Weil Asia partners and counsel were recognized as Highly Regarded or Rising Star lawyers in our pillar practice areas. Of note, Kathleen Aka has been newly named “Highly Regarded” lawyer in Restructuring and Insolvency in the latest edition of IFLR1000, a reflection to her longstanding experience advising clients on both contentious and non-contentious matters across the region for over 20 years.

IFLR1000 evaluates law firms and lawyers by practice areas based on qualitative research, deal data and client feedback. Firm and lawyers that consistently – over at least several research cycles – advise on a share of the most complex or innovative transactions or matters in their markets and receive excellent feedback will be ranked.
