C5 Names Dechert as Finalist for Two Women in Compliance Awards

Dechert LLP has been shortlisted in two categories in the Women in Compliance Awards 2017 run by C5, a business intelligence organization that provides comprehensive information on the law and emerging markets.

The firm’s Paris-based antitrust team, led by partner Mélanie Thill-Tayara, was shortlisted for “Anti-Trust Investigation Team of the Year” for its outstanding work advising clients on investigations and proceedings before EU and French competition authorities and courts. Thill-Tayara, who leverages a wealth of experience gathered at the European Commission’s Directorate-General Competition and from 25 years in private practice, has represented leading companies in a number of significant merger control matters and behavioral investigations since joining Dechert in February 2016.

Dechert was also shortlisted as “Global Trade & Customs Compliance Law Firm of the Year,” reflecting the achievements of its international trade and government regulation practice. Led by London-based partner Miriam Gonzalez, the team provides legal, strategic and public affairs expertise in order to advocate clients’ interests effectively. Gonzalez, a former EU trade negotiator and regulator who also co-chairs the firm's Global Women's Initiative, has staked out a highly visible position over the past year at the helm of Dechert’s market-leading Brexit initiative.

Winners in all categories will be announced at an awards ceremony on March 30 at Grosvenor House in London.
