About

Provided by Dechert LLP
High Net Worth

Dechert is a global law firm that advises asset managers, financial institutions and corporations on issues critical to managing their business and their capital – from high-stakes litigation to complex transactions and regulatory matters. We answer questions that seem unsolvable, develop deal structures that are new to the market and protect clients’ rights in extreme situations. Our 1,000+ lawyers across 21 offices globally focus on the financial services, private equity, private credit, real estate, life sciences and technology sectors.

Trust, estate and gift tax planning  

Dechert’s private client lawyers offer trust and estate planning and administration and taxplanning services to high net worth individuals, closely-held corporations, and charitable organizations, and the individual and corporate fiduciaries who serve them. The team represents both U.S. and international clients.

Every client’s situation is different. Our directive is clear: to develop a strategy that accomplishes the client’s wealth transfer goals and then implement through testamentary and lifetime plans that preserve assets, distribute assets as envisioned and minimize income and transfer taxes across all domestic and international jurisdictions.

White collar, compliance and investigations 

Dechert’s white collar, compliance and investigations team stands out due to the range and level of the work we handle, which is international in scope and involves what are currently the most important criminal and compliance issues.

Our work defending individuals sees us represent board members, C-suite executives, senior directors and high net worth/ultra-high net worth individuals, who are either some of the most important executives in their markets or caught up in some of the most significant issues arising in white collar crime. We represent individuals in investigations and prosecutions relating to corruption, insider trading and market manipulation, fraud, sanctions violations and money laundering. Our depth of expertise earns us high-profile work for individuals in the United Kingdom, other European countries, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
