“Practicing Banking & Finance at Weil was a no brainer. The attorneys here opened their doors to me and I found the work super interesting. I wanted to be at a law firm where I could do the type of work that most interested me and be a part of high profile deals, but I also wanted to be around people that I enjoy.” — Justin D. Lee
