We believe building community within the workplace and with our clients is the key to success. It's about building a firm where people are trusted and empowers to do their best.
For more than 150 years, we’ve advised the innovators who move industries forward. From the railroad pioneers of the 19th century to the world’s top asset managers today, we help leaders uncover opportunity and unlock advantage.
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.
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.
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.
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.
