Mr Adam Banks > Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Climbing a tier for 2023, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP’s recent hiring spree, coupled with its ability to lean on the wider firm’s top-tier bankruptcy offering, has seen its appellate profile rocket over the past two years. Among the new arrivals, the Washington DC office welcomed new department co-head Mark Perry in May 2022 from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. Perry recently represented Apple–as co-counsel alongside his former firm–before the Ninth Circuit in a significant antitrust case brought by Epic Games. On the bankruptcy front, New York-based practice co-chair Gregory Silbert successfully represented Morgan Stanley in multibillion-dollar litigation arising from Tribune Company’s leveraged buy-out. Additionally, Washington DC-based department co-chair Zachary Tripp represented the respondent, Kieran Buckley, before the US Supreme Court in a high-profile bankruptcy case discussing issues of fraud liability. The group also includes New York’s Adam Banks, who had a strong recent run of appeals in the IP sphere.
