The increasingly prominent practice at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP continues to make inroads into the appellate space under the leadership of department co-head Mark Perry in Washington DC. Collectively, the team has extensive experience in arguing cases before all thirteen federal circuits and the US Supreme Court, as well as in various state intermediate and supreme courts. Its subject matter expertise is equally far-reaching and spans a range of commercial and constitutional areas, including recent cases covering antitrust, IP, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, bankruptcy and class actions. Among Perry’s recent highlights, he successfully represented Apple before the Ninth Circuit in a high-profile antitrust case brought by Epic Games. Fellow group co-head Zachary Tripp, who splits his time between DC and New York, scored a significant SCOTUS win with a 9-0 ruling on behalf of an individual in a bankruptcy-related case. The team also includes practice co-head Gregory Silbert and appellate-focused partner Adam Banks—both of whom are based in New York.
