A true "buy-side" law firm
Dechert is a true “buy-side” law firm focused on representing asset managers and developing world class specialist practices in the areas relevant to them. We serve a diverse global client base that includes some of the most prolific CLO underwriters (major investment and commercial banks) as well as most of the largest asset managers and equity investors.
Top-ranked securitization, investment adviser and fund lawyers
Our top-ranked securitization, investment adviser and fund lawyers also have earned us a leading market position in the representation of issuers, placement agents, collateral managers and equity investors in collateralized loan obligation (CLO) transactions, including middle-market balance sheet CLOs and broadly syndicated arbitrage CLOs in the United States and Europe.
Our global platform also includes a multidisciplinary team with unparalleled experience in representing clients on their risk retention capital formation strategies. In fact, we not only created the parameters of each of the major risk retention solutions in the CLO marketplace, we created the nomenclature (CMV, MOA, C-MOA, etc.) too. Not surprisingly, Dechert was the first call when it came to addressing the changes wrought on the CLO market by the risk retention rules, and now represents over 50 asset managers on their CLOs and risk retention strategies.
