A Ten-dency for Excellence: Dechert Wins CLO Law Firm of the Year for the 10th Time at the GlobalCapital US Securitization Awards
We are incredibly proud to announce that Dechert has been named “CLO Law Firm of the Year” at the GlobalCapital US Securitization Awards 2026, and we did not stop there. This marks the 10th time we have received this honor — a milestone that speaks to the enduring strength and consistency of our CLO practice.
Dechert also advised on the “CLO Deal of the Year” awarded to Barings Infrastructure CLO 2025-I — a landmark transaction that exemplified the creativity, precision and execution excellence that defines our practice.
Winning both awards in the same year is a powerful reflection of where Dechert stands in this market — and it would not have been possible without you.
To our clients: thank you. Your trust drives everything we do. To our industry partners — the managers, banks, trustees, and administrators who work alongside us every day — we are deeply grateful for your collaboration and your support through the voting process. And to GlobalCapital, thank you for your continued commitment to celebrating excellence across the U.S. securitization market.
These awards reflect the strength of Dechert's CLO practice and its continued collaboration with leading managers on high-profile transactions. We remain as committed as ever to delivering for our clients through an increasingly complex and evolving market — and we look forward to building on this recognition together.
