Dechert Elevates 13 Attorneys to Partnership

Dechert added 13 lawyers to the firm’s global partnership, effective Jan. 1, 2025. This year’s class is larger than the previous class in 2023, representing seven of the firm’s global practices and six offices across the U.S., the UK and France.

Among the new partners are one of the hosts of the firm’s Dechert4Real podcast, a “Woman Worth Watching in STEM,” as recognized by Profiles in Diversity Journal, two Dechert STARS award winners, a Legal 500 “Rising Star,” a Chambers UK “Associate to Watch” and a Samuel E. Klein Pro Bono Award winner.

“These new partners bring diverse backgrounds to the firm, blending both homegrown and lateral talent,” Mark Thierfelder, co-chair of Dechert, said. “We are confident this accomplished group will deliver outstanding work for our clients and help us execute on the firm’s strategic plan.”

“These outstanding lawyers have distinguished themselves with their talent, creativity, work ethic, business acumen and commitment to the Dechert culture of stewardship,” Dave Forti, co-chair of Dechert, said. “We are proud to welcome them to firm partnership.”
