Dechert has announced that David Vaughan has returned to the international law firm as a partner in the Financial Services Group.
Vaughan left Dechert in March 2009 to join the US Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Investment Management, where he served for the last two years as the senior private fund policy adviser on all aspects of legal and regulatory policy related to private funds.
“David’s return will further enhance our capabilities in the private fund and adviser area," said Robert Helm, deputy chairman at Dechert.
Vaughan works with hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds and unregistered traditional funds. He represents managers with respect to fund formation, distribution and compliance issues. He has also represented both insurance companies and fund sponsors with respect to privately placed and offshore variable insurance products.
