Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Inspiring. Investing. Including.

Engaging difference to elevate everyone.

Bold. Distinctive. Inclusive.


Our vision for Hogan Lovells is to make a meaningful positive impact in our firm, within our communities and on society more broadly, and to establish ourselves as one of the market leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion.

Reflecting this, delivering on our commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion is one of the five key strategic priorities of the firm, on a par with putting clients at the center of everything we do and enhancing profitability. We are actively creating an inclusive workplace where each of our people can thrive, by mitigating unconscious bias and actively creating opportunities for and supporting our colleagues. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion makes us a better law firm and helps us to deliver the best experience for our clients, attract and retain the best talent, and drive innovation.

We have a separate DEI function which reports direct to the firm’s CEO. Our global team of diversity professionals works with our global DEI Committee comprising partners from around the world to deliver on these commitments using a strategy focused on:
