Dechert often works on highly sophisticated, cross-border investment fund projects, across hedge, private equity, real estate, registered and other fund types. This work often involves very large funds, and often reflects – or paves the way for – key market developments.

A top-ranked funds practice in the Asia Pacific

Our Asia Investment Funds team has been recognized for excellence by a number of leading publications. Legal 500 Asia Pacific in 2017 ranked us as a leading law firm for both Investment Funds and Regulatory in Hong Kong, and gave us a Band 1 ranking for Investment Funds in Singapore, as well.
