Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Criminal Trials and Appeals: Every year, we assist dozens of indigent defendants in criminal cases at both the trial and appellate level. For example, in our New York office, the firm participates in the Criminal Justice Act Panel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and regularly takes cases to trial from those appointments. The firm also handles a steady stream of criminal appeals, working with both the Legal Aid Society and the Office of the Appellate Defender.
Restraining Order
With multiple community partners we represent individual victims of domestic violence who are seeking temporary and permanent restraining orders against their abusers. Additionally, with The Advocates for Human Rights, we have worked to reform the domestic violence laws in several countries. We have accompanied The Advocates on missions – where we undertook detailed reviews of the current state of the law, interviewed relevant stakeholders in-country and then made proposals for law reform. Our lawyers have also engaged in several comparative law research projects on domestic violence issues – providing information to advocacy groups about best practices around the world.
Money Laundering
We also need to process certain personal data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. For example, for anti-money laundering, conflict, and financial purposes.
Prostitution
We have also assisted numerous trafficking victims outside of the diplomatic context. We have secured a T-Visa for a teenage girl from Zambia who had been labor trafficked into the U.S. by her own relatives, who forced her to lie about her age to U.S. embassy officials. We have also worked in the sex trafficking sphere, including the recent successful vacatur of over 90 prostitution convictions for a woman who was sex trafficked in New York.
Extortion
Dechert’s global Privacy & Cybersecurity practice provides a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to clients’ privacy and cybersecurity needs. Our practice is top ranked by The Legal 500 and our partners are well-known thought leaders and sought after advisors in the space with unparalleled expertise and experience. Our litigation team provides pre-breach counseling and handles all aspects of data breach investigations as well as the defense of government regulatory enforcement actions and class action litigation for clients across a broad spectrum of industries. We have handled over a thousand data breach investigations of all types including nation states, ransom/cyber extortion, vendor/supply chain, DDoS, brought by threat actors of all types, from nation-state threat actors to organized crime to insiders. We also represent clients holistically through the entire life cycle of issues, providing sophisticated, solution oriented advice to clients and counseling on cutting edge data-driven products and services including for trend forecasting, personalized content and targeted advertising across sectors on such key laws as the CCPA, CPRA and state consumer privacy laws, Section 5 of the FTC Act; the EU/UK GDPR, e-Privacy Directive, and cross-border data transfers. We also conduct privacy and cybersecurity diligence for mergers and acquisitions, financings, corporate transactions, and securities offerings.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Our team in France has 70 lawyers focused on corporate and securities, international arbitration, litigation, investigations and compliance, antitrust/competition, regulatory, financing, tax, financial services matters, intellectual property and labor and employment.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Business Disputes
Named the "Best international firm for pro bono work" in Euromoney Legal Media Group's Americas Women in Business Law Awards program for 2016, reflecting the firm's staunch commitment to gender diversity, service and innovation initiatives.
Intellectual Property

Property Law

Construction Litigation
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
In Philadelphia, we have a Landlord Tenant Pro Bono Practice Group, which routinely takes referrals from our community partners, including Community Legal Services and Philadelphia Volunteers for the Indigent Program, to represent tenants in Municipal Court eviction hearings. Additionally, Dechert was instrumental in working with the Court of Common Pleas to expand the program to include a volunteer-staffed mandatory mediation program for landlord-tenant appeals.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
Clients are often involved in cross-border commercial lending and debt activities – for example, where an alternative investment fund (AIF) originates loans to a commercial borrower or engages in secondary purchase of loans and/or loan restructurings. In response, World Compass provides practical guidance in key jurisdictions on relevant restrictions or licensing requirements, risks, alternative approaches where restrictions do hamper transactions, and any high level observations on significant tax issues.
