Clearing legal pathways for investment advisers  that compete in the  U.S. and globally

Dechert lawyers are recognized as innovators and thought leaders in the legal and regulatory matters that affect investment advisers in the U.S. and globally. Team members add exceptional value to client matters, often drawing on previous experience in senior regulatory posts and in-house positions, and tapping into the knowledge base of one of the legal industry’s largest and highest-ranked financial services practices.

Global clients regularly count on us to deal with both home-country issues and cross-border matters, drawing on our global expertise to provide harmonized and consistent advice to clients that operate under multiple regulatory regimes.
