Dechert Ranked as Top CLO Counsel for the First Half of 2026

Congratulations to Dechert's CLO team, which has again been ranked among the top CLO counsel for the first half of 2026 in the U.S. for both issuers and managers. The team was ranked the #1 issuer counsel for U.S. collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) in the first half of 2026 by Asset-Backed Alert, as well as topping Creditflux's H1 U.S. CLO and private credit CLO league tables for manager counsel.
