Hogan Lovells welcomes the New Year and 25 new partner and 60 new counsel promotions

Speaking on the promotions, Hogan Lovells' CEO Miguel Zaldivar commented: "The promotions of this talented group are the result of the hard work and dedication of each individual, and their commitment to collaboration and to putting clients at the center of everything we do. The promotions reflect the breadth and depth of our diverse practices around the world, particularly our strength in a number of key sectors and in advising at the intersection of government and business. Delivering on our commitments to diversity and inclusion is a strategic priority of the firm, so I am particularly pleased that 16% of our new partners are racial and ethnic minorities. I congratulate all those who were promoted and wish them every success as they continue their career with us."
