Debevoise opened its London office in 1989, now the firm's second-largest, and built it around private equity and funds work as that industry was taking shape in Europe. The office also runs substantial international disputes, investigations and arbitration practices, which Chambers UK has called 'stellar', alongside insurance, M&A, finance and tax. Its lawyers are a mix of US and English qualification, reflecting a practice that works across both English and US law.
Culture & Values
With just over 100 lawyers, the London office is small enough that trainees work closely with partners across four six-month seats, one of which must be in litigation or arbitration. Every associate is paired with a mentor through the firm's Associate Mentor Programme, second-year trainees spend time on the LAUNCH programme in New York, and secondments to other international offices are common. Pro bono is a standing part of the work, with trainees staffing the UnLtd and Hackney legal clinics.
