Weil's premier position in the legal industry is recognized both by peers and by the press. Our five departments and 24 practice groups are consistently recognized as leaders in their respective fields.

Weil and its attorneys have also been consistently top-ranked by the most authoritative legal and financial industry publications such as Chambers USA and Chambers Global, IFLR, and The Lawyer. Most recently, the firm was awarded the 2007 Chambers USA Award for Excellence in IP Litigation for the best IP Litigation practice in the United States and was shortlisted in the Bankruptcy, Corporate Tax and Private Equity categories. In its UK 200 Annual Report, The Lawyer ranked Weil high on its list of the top 30 international firms in London for the firm’s “growing number of roles on some of the biggest domestic deals in the market.” The leading German legal publication JUVE Commercial Law Firms 2007 listed Weil in the upper echelon of the publication’s “National Review Top 50" list, citing the firm’s “innovative focus.”
Weil has become a highly visible leader among major law firms for its innovative diversity and pro bono initiatives, the product of comprehensive and long-term commitment which has ingrained these values into firm culture. Our pro bono efforts have garnered top recognition from organizations such as the Legal Aid Society of New York and the NAACP, and from international publications including Legal 500 Paris and The Lawyer. In its respected survey, The Lawyer recognized Weil for important diversity achievements, ranking the firm 6th for "UK Top 10 Law Firms by Associate Diversity" and 5th in the Diversity League Table for "UK Top 10 Law Firms Ranked by Partner Diversity."
In sum, Weil’s proven, demonstrated experience allows us to provide our clients with unmatched legal services, which is why the world’s most sophisticated clients call upon Weil to provide counsel in their most complex issues and the sound judgment to help them make the hard calls.
