Dechert LLP

Dechert helps business leaders lead

For more than 150 years, we’ve advised the innovators who move industries forward. From the railroad pioneers of the 19^th century to the world’s top asset managers today, we help leaders uncover opportunity and unlock advantage.

Boldly commercial

Beyond protecting your business, we work to advance it. We find the upside others miss so you can seize opportunities and move with speed to market. We anticipate challenges around the corner to help you avoid litigation or defend your business — because all litigation is high stakes.

Intrepid teamwork, global reach

Our nearly 1,000 lawyers across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are immersed in the sectors we serve, including financial services, private capital, real estate, life sciences, and technology. We work shoulder to shoulder with you, and with each other, bringing together global insights, commercial judgment and the full depth of our collective thinking. So, you have access to top legal resources wherever you operate and can move decisively when opportunity demands it.

Innovation is in our DNA

No precedent? No problem. Whether in emerging areas of law like AI or writing novel deal structures in real estate and private equity, we stay ahead so you can, too. Dechert has had more lawyers recognized by the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards in North America than any other firm.

Excellence is standard

You expect steady hands, sharp judgment and a battle-tested command of the law. That’s what our lawyers bring to every negotiation, courtroom and conversation. And we bring the same commitment to our pro bono work and advocacy. Wherever business moves next, we’ll be there. Ahead of market shifts and regulatory tides, investing and unwavering. Helping leaders achieve the uncommon.
