About

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.

Our London office first opened its doors in 1972, though Dechert’s roots in the UK stretch back to the 1930s. The office has grown to more than 160 lawyers and other legal professionals.

Our lawyers help clients from all major sectors achieve their commercial aims.

Reflecting London’s role as a global business hub, our lawyers are qualified to practice in a wide array of jurisdictions in addition to our core English law practice.

For example, we are one of the few law firms with a full-service US corporate practice in London, which advises domestic and international clients on a broad spectrum of US regulatory and transactional issues.
