Why Hogan Lovells

Everyone is here to change the game. Everyone pushes each other and is pushed in return. Everyone works together to nd smarter, bolder ways to solve problems that, in a global market, are increasingly complex.

This sense of trust runs through the ¿rm. There’s a natural tendency to share knowledge, and a strong emphasis on building meaningful relationships with clients and each other, whether that’s in person or remotely. It makes for an aspirational, positive and inclusive culture. We’re an international law ¿rm that feels like a connected community – one, most importantly, where you can always be yourself.

So, what can you expect if you join us? Cross-continent collaboration, fresh-thinking colleagues and plenty of support from approachable experts. Then there’s our exceptional breadth of practice groups, giving you exposure to all sorts of interesting legal challenges. It’s how you’ll grow your own expertise, with tailored training and early responsibility that gives you the con¿dence to do things dĭerently. To do things like a global game-changer.

“The collegiate nature of the rm is amazing. People will help one another wherever in the world they are – no matter what.”

Faraz Naqvi, Counsel

Looking to the future

At Hogan Lovells, we don’t just claim to be innovative. We show it. We embrace change. We make it happen. Being global game-changers means many things, all of which reÀect who we are and the work that we do. It’s about using our legal and commercial skills to solve the most complex issues across the world. It’s about thinking creatively, bringing ideas to our clients and responding to their needs. It’s about being a place where diverse people thrive and succeed. A place where we all have a positive impact on the world around us. But these are challenging times. As I write this, we’re dealing with the global crisis caused by COVID-19. Across many of our ȯces, we’re working from home and ¿nding new ways to be agile, Àexible and to remain connected with our clients and each other. Looking ahead, we’ll take all these learnings to reimagine how we work as a bold and distinctive law ¿rm. In fact, the future is always on our minds. We may be seen as leaders in innovation – both in our legal thinking and the way we deliver legal services – but we don’t rest on our laurels. Far from it. If you join us, you’ll be part of a team that relishes new challenges and areas of law, like our recent work on drones, cyber security, blockchain and FinTech. You’ll pursue big ideas and do brilliant things, encouraged by everyone around you. So your development will never stop at Hogan Lovells, no matter how high you climb.
