The Global Restructuring Review named Paul, Weiss a finalist in four categories in its 2025 GRR awards. The firm was named a finalist for “Chapter 11 Firm of the Year,” recognizing our representation of Diamond Sports Group in its successful chapter 11 process, 23andMe in its court-approved $305 million bankruptcy sale, Mitel in its successful chapter 11 process and Rite Aid in its chapter 11 bankruptcy. The firm was also named a finalist for the “Pioneering Spirit Award” for representing 23andMe in the first case in which state genetic and data privacy laws were applied to the sale of a genetic testing company in a bankruptcy process—a matter led by partners Christopher Hopkins, Jeffrey Recher, William Clareman, Paul Basta and Jeffrey Marell. The firm was named a finalist in the “Impactful Judgement of the Year” category for its Fifth Circuit win on behalf of a group of Serta Simmons lenders excluded from a 2020 debt restructuring deal, led litigation partners Kannon Shanmugam, Andrew Ehrlich, Lewis Clayton and William Marks, and restructuring partners Brian Hermann and Ken Ziman. Finally, restructuring partner Chris Hopkins was named a “Future Leader” finalist.
The annual awards honor the most impressive restructuring practices and individuals of the past year. Winners will be recognized at a ceremony in London on November 20.
