Dechert LLP has established a large and growing Dublin team that is part of its outstanding global practice. The group now provides a significant challenge to the Irish elite and can bring in international experts from around the globe on cross-border matters. It has built an extensive presence in UCITS and is now growing its reputation in private funds; counsel Dan Morrissey was hired from Akin‘s Hong Kong office to help achieve this. Carol Widger leads the Dublin team, which includes Declan O’Sullivan, Jeff Mackey and Emmet Quish. Ciara O’Leary remains noted for ESG matters and Mark Dillon for regulatory issues.
