Dechert Only Firm to be Ranked as “Elite” Across all Chambers Associate Survey Categories for Second Consecutive Year

I’ve seen many young mothers make partner at Dechert. It’s inspiring, not only because the firm invests seriously in its female associates, but it means I won’t have to choose between my family and my career.

Dechert partners provide great opportunities to learn and develop because they put their trust in associates early on, encouraging us to take on more responsibility managing matters and interacting with clients.

Dechert’s culture of collaboration has made me feel comfortable taking on increasingly difficult and interesting work early in my career.

I cannot imagine a better place to practice law, or better people with whom to practice. Dechert exceeds all my expectations, and I am grateful every day to come to work.

My team encourages client development early on. Being able to connect with the client as a junior associate gives me a heightened sense of agency over my work.

I appreciate that the partners and associates with whom I work are quick to answer questions, address project nuances and provide valuable feedback.

I had the opportunity to go on a secondment for a client and gained useful perspective, which allowed me to focus on the specialty I wanted to build a career in.

I’m proud to work at a firm where the leaders not only emphasize the importance of pro bono, but also make a deliberate effort to seek out projects that associates are personally interested or invested in.

At Dechert, I feel empowered to take on responsibility and apply my training and skills under the guidance of attorneys I trust and respect.

Dechert’s pro-bono program enabled me to make several independent court appearances as a first-year associate, and I always felt supported by the senior members of the team.

Friendliness is the standard at Dechert. Everyone that I pass in the hallway, both associates and partners, looks happy to see me, and I am happy to see them.
