A global partner for finance
Dechert provides transformational advice to our financial sector clients on important matters and complex issues. We are committed to being creative, innovative and delivering actionable strategies designed to manage risk and maximize investment returns.
Broad industry coverage and deep knowledge of our clients’ businesses and the financial structures that are being developed day in and day out across these markets enable us to deliver a powerful competitive advantage for clients.
Our global finance team acts for clients across an extraordinarily wide range of financial markets, including in cross-border situations. This allows us to break down the barriers between the knowledge silos that develop and ossify among financial markets and products, so that we can migrate financial solutions and learning between these sectors; championing solutions that law firms unable to breakdown these barriers simply cannot match.
We operate on a cohesive global platform across the world’s major money centers, with unparalleled experience in ABS securitizations, including esoterics, commercial mortgage-backed securities, CLOs, commercial real estate finance, fund finance, debt finance, leverage finance, direct lending, private credit, residential mortgage finance, the SFR space, structured credit, credit risk transfers, derivatives and fintech.
