Private equity lawyer, Nick Marchica, will join Dechert’s New York office as a partner in the corporate group. Marchica’s arrival continues Dechert’s U.S. private equity and private credit expansion over the past year.

Marchica, whose clients are based throughout North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, has experience advising private equity firms and their funds on domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, divestitures and joint ventures. Prior to joining Dechert, Mr. Marchica was a partner in the private equity practice at another international law firm.

“Nick’s decades of experience advising leading private equity players on complex deals makes him an exceptionally valuable addition to our team,” Mark Thierfelder, firm co-chair elect, chair of Dechert’s corporate and securities group and chair of the global private equity practice, said.

“I am excited to be joining Dechert’s elite global practice,” Marchica said. “The firm’s impressive depth of talent—both globally and across tax, finance, employee benefits and all of the ancillary areas that are so critical to a leading, global private equity practice—is a perfect complement to both my skill set and my clients’ needs.”
