Todd D. Schafer is one of Hogan Lovells' most senior partners, and his practice focuses on public and private cross-border mergers and acquisitions (negotiated and hostile); strategic commercial transactions; public and private financings; complex bank and corporate restructurings; and the negotiation and implementation of joint ventures. These representations often include advice on transactions in the banking and insurance, natural resources, media, sports, and entertainment sectors. He also has substantial experience in international litigation and arbitration matters.

Over the last 15 years, Todd has served as lead counsel on many of the largest and most important transactions handled by Hogan & Hartson, including a significant number of deals in London which relate to Russia. The latest edition of Chambers Global states Todd "has earned a formidable reputation" and credits him as "the best in the market" and "an outstanding and commercially driven attorney." Todd's clients include the best known multinationals as well as leading emerging market corporates and governmental bodies.

Todd has lectured at leading universities such as Oxford and sat on several boards including Stillwater Mining Company (June 2003 - January 2009), which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the board (2010) of the New Jersey Nets basketball franchise.
