Dechert welcomed Craig Cohen as partner in its global tax group, notably enhancing the firm’s tax capabilities in its structured credit and transactional practices. Cohen is based in Dechert’s New York office.
“Craig’s depth of expertise in CLOs, structured credit and securitization will serve as a tremendous asset to Dechert, allowing us to further expand our capabilities and support our clients in their most complex transactions,” David Forti, co-chair of Dechert, said. “His insights will be invaluable in driving our continued growth.”
“The addition of Craig to our team significantly enhances our tax capabilities and enables us to build more robust cross-practice teams, particularly within our structured credit group,” Joshua Milgrim, chair of Dechert’s global tax group, said. “This integration is essential to delivering the exceptional service our clients expect.”
Cohen joins Dechert from an international law firm, where he served as counsel in its tax group. Prior to that role, Cohen was a partner at a Chicago-based law firm in its tax group. He has broad experience advising large collateral managers in New York and London, as well as working on leveraged finance transactions. Cohen’s focus spans financings, capital markets, asset-backed securities and asset-based lending.
“Joining Dechert presents an incredible opportunity to work with a distinguished team that leads the market in structured credit and innovative financings,” Cohen said. “I am eager to bring my experience to the table to further enhance our clients’ success and contribute to Dechert’s continued excellence in this sector.”
Cohen received his B.A. from Brandeis University and his J.D. from New York University School of Law.
