What the team is known for

Dechert is an international law firm with strong US foundations and a Paris office with a strong reputation for its cross-border capabilities. The firm's international work in Paris is often focused towards cross-border transactions involving the life sciences sector and private equity funds with a base in France. It is also a key location for the firm's international arbitration expertise.

The law firm has a leading life sciences industry group within its Paris office which frequently handles cross-border M&A and IP issues for pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Its capacity to provide high-quality advice on fund formation and taxation issues considering both US and European laws is also cited as a key advantage the firm is able to offer to its private equity clients. While the typical channel for the firm's cross-border work is matters involving France and the USA, the firm's strategically located offices across Europe, Asia and the Middle East also provide significant global reach.
