Philip Butler – Dechert LLP

Following the recent retirement from the partnership of John Markland, Dechert LLP‘s work for its fund-focused client base focuses almost entirely on their role as lenders on acquisition finance mandates. In this context, practice co-heads David Miles  and Philip Butler  have a ‘great depth of knowledge’, having been involved from the earliest days of the growth of the product, with both capable of handling a range of deals across sectors and quantum for key clients including Ares and Barings. Clients are also appreciative of the overarching ‘team dynamic’, as well as the ‘ability to bring in resources and expertise from other areas of the firm as needed during the course of a transaction’. Smridhi Gulati joined Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in April 2023.
