Dechert LLP has appointed Jarlath Pratt as a partner in its corporate and securities practice group in London. He brings over 20 years of experience in both private practice and as managing director and assistant general counsel within a global institutional investor.
Pratt’s appointment follows the hire of Nick Tomlinson in February 2025 and Joseph Dennis joining the firm in July 2025, which the firm says enhances its cross-border private equity and global M&A offering in London.
