Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Weil, Gotshal & Manges has forged an excellent reputation internationally through a global platform principally built around its transactional capabilities. The firm's primary headquarters in New York and its impressive London base both act as important global hubs and are coupled with a far-reaching network of offices which extends across the USA and Europe, with Asian operations run from China. All the firm's offices have a principal focus on advising international banks, large multinational corporations and private equity funds. The firm typically offers strength in cross-border finance, restructuring, high-end M&A and tax across its platform.

Largely New York-driven, US teams offer a strong global platform for large clients seeking cross-border capital markets and finance expertise, utilising strong UK, European and China offices. The firm has a stellar reputation for its representation of private equity clients and is a trusted adviser on cross-border leveraged finance in transatlantic deals. It also has an established reputation in financial markets in Asia, and its US-based teams often advise on US-Asia deals. It offers solid expertise in cross-border securitisation, and the firm has a global reputation for a leading bankruptcy group that is well versed in project-managing multi-jurisdictional proceedings.
