‘Dechert understands that clients need holistic advice - not siloed on one issue, but covering a broad range of issues actions might implicate; it is the best at ensuring it provides this in a practical and cost-effective manner. It communicates well, staff are smart, and their advice is always on point.’
‘Hrishikesh Hari and Jeremy Dechert are an excellent team: they believe in and understand the importance of diversity and inclusion to us; they provide the most practical solutions and advice; and they are thoughtful and holistic in their guidance.
