Dorothy Cory-Wright

Dechert

It is not every day that lawyers get to see their efforts help shape new legislation, but that has been happening to Dechert’s London head of disputes, Dorothy Cory-Wright. Her work in relation to the collapse of investment firm London Capital & Finance, one of the UK’s biggest financial services scandals since the global financial crisis, led to Cory-Wright finding herself testifying to a Treasury select committee and appearing before the new legislation committee in relation to the Online Harms Bill (later renamed the Online Safety Bill).

Cory-Wright’s role as one of Dechert’s London office leaders, a role to which she was appointed in January 2021, has also seen her deeply involved in challenging operational matters during the Covid-19 pandemic. And all while maintaining a busy caseload for global clients. With some particularly weighty matters currently on her plate, expect great things from Cory-Wright in 2022.
