Dechert is in the process of transitioning to a new leadership team by the start of July, when Henry Nassau, the firm’s CEO since 2016, and Andy Levander, the firm’s chair since 2011, will step down from their current leadership positions.
Effective July 1, transnational practice leaders David W. Forti and Mark E. Thierfelder will become firmwide co-chairs, and partners Sabina Comis and Vincent H. Cohen Jr. will become the firm’s first global managing partners. The incoming leadership team will bring a balance of experience in corporate and dealmaking work and litigation and tax work, according to the firm’s announcement Wednesday morning.
