Today, Richard Lorenzo, Regional Managing Partner – Americas, shared the statement below with our colleagues in the region, condemning the racist killings in Buffalo, New York.

Dear All:

This weekend we witnessed yet another racist attack on our Black/African American community. On behalf of Hogan Lovells, we express our profound sadness and sympathy for all those affected by the senseless killings in Buffalo, New York. Discrimination, racism, and bigotry do not belong in our society. As a firm, we condemn these hate crimes and any white supremacist ideology, and demand that such crimes be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Collectively, the time for action is now - combatting violence, extremism, and hate crimes is critical to keeping our communities safe and secure.
