Jonathan Wood > Weil, Gotshal & Manges (London) LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

‘A first-class outfit with a well-earned reputation for effectiveness and responsiveness‘, Weil, Gotshal & Manges (London) LLP draws superlative praise from a number of clients for the strength of its sponsor-side transactional practice. Regarded by clients as ‘one of the very best PE lawyers in London‘ Marco Compagnoni – global co-chair of the firm’s private equity practice – regularly works with leading firms and their portfolio companies on high-value acquisitions and disposals. Jonathan Wood‘s broad practice encompasses buyouts, exits, and minority investments, most recently for clients in sectors including tech and professional services. ‘First point of call in an emergency‘ Simon Lyell‘s ‘highly technical‘ but ‘commercial‘ practice spans both buyouts and growth investments. Lewis Blakey‘s recent engagements include big-ticket acquisitions with pan-European and transatlantic dimensions. Max Oppenheimer is also recommended.
