Chambers Review
Dechert's extensive international footprint enables it to handle major complex matters concerning multiple jurisdictions. With a significant focus on the financial sector, private equity and life sciences industries, the firm is able to provide clients with assistance on a myriad of mandates, including fund formation, transactions and disputes from key offices across the major markets in the USA, Europe and Asia. To complement its significant global reach, the firm also frequently collaborates with co-counsel from other jurisdictions to provide a complete service.
The firm offers a broad investment funds skill set with a proven track record handling substantial cross-border registered funds work, and it is also recognised for its increasing profile in the global private funds sphere. The group advises on all aspects of hedge fund formation, investment and compliance matters, and often links with highly regarded colleagues operating in London and Hong Kong to provide global support.
