Firm Overview:


Dechert has built a global platform across 16 locations with a singular focus – delivering the highest-quality advice that is actionable, commercial and delivered efficiently.


Our clients operate in increasingly challenging times. Geopolitical uncertainty, the sheer complexity of modern markets and an ever-changing regulatory environment contribute to a proliferation of commercial and regulatory risks. To navigate these challenges, we deliver sophisticated legal advice, grounded in broad market knowledge, in an agile and intuitive way.


We have some of the world’s leading lawyers advising on both domestic and cross-border matters. The firm is frequently retained to work on the most challenging transactions and disputes, and prides itself on its ability to deliver premium legal services and sound business judgment to its clients.


Dechert lawyers bring to their assignments a focus on quality, responsiveness, and value for money. We are driven by one key principle: exceptional client service.


Our clients include asset managers, financial institutions and corporations in key global financial centers. We work on matters involving complex commercial litigation, enforcement actions, investigations and product liability and mass torts litigation, antitrust and competition, investment management, financing and restructuring, capital markets and securitization, mergers and acquisitions, and intellectual property. Dechert focuses on clients in financial services, private equity and private credit, real estate, technology and life sciences. We work with 40 of the “Fortune 100” companies and represent more than 350 private equity and investment firms in some capacity. We also advise the top ten global asset management firms, and 80% of the top 100 global private debt firms (as identified by Private Debt Investor).


Dechert has a longstanding tradition of providing pro bono legal services to individuals and organizations who cannot otherwise afford legal counsel. Lawyers in all our offices and in all our practice groups make a difference every day by contributing their talents to providing pro bono legal services.
