Dechert has added to its white-collar crime and trials practice in Philadelphia, bringing on a partner with experience in local government, federal prosecution, private practice and academia.

Sozi Tulante, who served as Philadelphia’s city solicitor for two years, is Dechert’s newest Philadelphia-based partner. Tulante became a policy fellow and lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Law School after announcing his departure from the Philadelphia Law Department in March 2019, teaching prosecutorial decision-making and constitutional law.
