Lawyer Rankings
United States > Dispute resolution > M&A litigation: defense
Dechert LLP has a practice that operates across the country, enabling it to be active in many key fora including the Delaware Court of Chancery. The practice is led from Chicago by Joni Jacobsen and frequently acts for acquirers, sellers, bidders, corporate officers and directors, special board committees, investment banks and advisers, venture capitalists, individual investors, private equity firms, hedge funds, sovereign funds and many other stakeholders in litigation concerning corporate takeovers, material adverse change, valuation and more. In San Francisco, Joshua Hess (who is ‘a great litigator, extremely smart, trusted advisor‘) and Richard Horvath are the key contacts. David Kotler in New York, and David Kistenbroker, who works from both New York and Chicago, are also highly regarded. Kistenbroker and Jacobsen handled a class action for PureCycle Technologies concerning allegations that the company made materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding its business in the lead up to its reverse merger with ROCH SPAC.
