About

Provided by Dechert LLP

Dechert is among the most active law firms in the private equity industry. Our private equity practice began more than 35 years ago - before it was even called "private equity" - when we advised on some of the first fund formations and buyout transactions.

Dechert’s global team of more than 250 lawyers represents all types of private equity sponsors and other private investment firms, including sovereign wealth funds and family offices, and their portfolio companies, as well as institutional and corporate investors looking to invest in private equity funds.

In every phase of the private equity investment life cycle, we help clients accomplish their investment objectives by:

  • Forming funds for sponsors and institutional investors
  • Helping to raise capital
  • Negotiating investments and financings for funds
  • Advising on transactions and other matters for clients’ portfolio companies
  • Structuring exits for investors
  • Restructuring less successful investments
