Dechert's European offices have best year ever

Dechert's strongest year ever in its international offices and the right mix of practice areas helped garner a 14.7 percent increase in gross revenue for 2007 -- a year firm Chairman Barton J. Winokur said was "difficult" for the industry. The firm's revenue increased from $729 million in 2006 to $836 million in 2007, he said.
