Culture
We believe building community within the workplace and with our clients is the key to success. It's about building a firm where people are trusted and empowers to do their best.
Dechert has built a global platform across 18 locations with a singular focus – delivering the highest-quality advice that is actionable, commercial and delivered efficiently.
Our clients operate in increasingly challenging times. Geopolitical uncertainty, the sheer complexity of modern markets and an ever-changing regulatory environment contribute to a proliferation of commercial and regulatory risks. To navigate these challenges, we deliver sophisticated legal advice, grounded in broad market knowledge, in an agile and intuitive way.
