William C. Robertson joined Dechert’s global finance team as a partner based in New York. Robertson’s arrival continues Dechert’s U.S. private equity and private credit expansion, which includes the growth of the firm’s capabilities in California.
Robertson focuses on financings relating to acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations and other transactions. In addition to borrowers and private equity sponsors, he represents major banks, credit funds, and alternative capital providers and other financial institutions.
Previously, Robertson worked in-house at ING Financial Services and in the New York and Beijing offices of another international firm.
“Will’s exceptional experience in leveraged finance will further enhance our growing and ambitious global private credit practice,” Scott Zimmerman, head of leveraged finance at Dechert, said.
“Dechert has one of the world’s premier finance practices and is a leader in private credit,” Robertson said. “I am very much looking forward to working with the group’s top-tier clients and contributing to the firm’s strategic growth.”
