New York Law Journal: Dechert's Restructuring Build-Out Draws on a Record New York Market
A recent New York Law Journal article by Amanda O'Brien tracks the latest chapter in Dechert's rapid restructuring expansion, reporting on the firm's hire of partner Jerry Hall in New York — the fourth restructuring partner to join from McDermott Will & Emery in under a month, following Marcus Helt, Debbie Green, and Jack Haake in Dallas.
The piece situates the move within a broader period of accelerated senior partner mobility across the restructuring market, pointing to recent lateral activity at Kirkland & Ellis, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, among others.
O'Brien draws on data from Macrae+'s New York lateral hiring report — released earlier in May — which recorded Dechert as the leading firm for partner lateral hires in New York in Q1, with 12 total hires, ahead of Sidley Austin, Kirkland & Ellis, and Ropes & Gray.
