Hogan Lovells appoints new Board member to Continental Europe seat

The Hogan Lovells Board comprises 12 members and supervises the affairs of the firm and its management on behalf of the partners. Most partner related matters, such as partner compensation, opening of offices, appointment of new partners and a number of financial decisions require approval by the Board. The Board does not, however, have executive responsibility for strategy, management or operating decisions which are vested with the CEO and the IMC. Membership of the Board is designed to reflect the broad scope of the business, with members representing a combination of geographic and other backgrounds. Board members can serve up to two terms, each lasting three years.
