Working in international teams organized by specific industries and practice areas, our lawyers provide seamless legal services to clients around the world. Many of our lawyers are qualified in multiple jurisdictions and are fluent in several languages.

Our global reach is an extension of our local strength. Founded in 1875 in the United States, we built our practice on a thorough knowledge of domestic markets and a commitment to client service. In response to dynamic, growing markets and evolving client needs, we expanded across the United States and internationally.

Dechert opened its first European office in Brussels in 1968. Four years later, we opened a London office and later established a presence in Paris in 1995. In 2000, the firm undertook a major expansion in the United Kingdom through a merger with Titmuss Sainer Dechert, a leading London law firm. Since then, Dechert has opened offices in Luxembourg and Germany.
