Clients seek out our white collar lawyers in Washington, D.C., London, and other global hubs for good reason:
- We’re a leader in managing large, complex, high-stakes investigations.
- We’ve successfully represented clients in virtually all substantive areas of white collar defense.
- Our global presence enables us to represent clients both in single-and multi-jurisdictional matters — criminal cases, internal investigations, enforcement matters — worldwide.
- In the U.S., we frequently represent clients before the Department of Justice (DOJ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all other federal agencies, Congress, as well as state attorneys general, state and local prosecutors, and other government and regulatory bodies.
- We have significant experience with top non-U.S. regulators. These notably include the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, as well as the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and similar authorities in Asia and Europe.
We’re equally adept at dealing with high-profile cases, crisis management, and handling matters discreetly and out of the media.
Nearly a third of the firm’s litigators are in major commercial centers outside the U.S. As in the U.S., many have distinguished themselves at the highest levels of public service.
We have white collar lawyers in Washington, D.C., New York, and other U.S. cities, as well as London, Moscow, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Chambers Review
Dechert LLP is widely acknowledged to have an extensive international range with which it is able to handle major complex matters concerning multiple jurisdictions. With a significant focus on the financial sector, private equity and the life sciences, the firm is able to provide clients with assistance on a wide range of cross-border issues.
Its international investigations practice is noted for its involvement as global coordinating counsel on large and high-profile, multi-jurisdictional investigations. Dechert utilises its impressive global network, with offices across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. A key component for clients of the London office is the ability to get joined-up expertise with the US practice, which includes a strong investigations and white-collar team in New York.
