Hogan Lovells celebrates as three partners included in Lawdragon’s 2023 rankings

Climan, the Global Head of the firm’s Technology M&A practice and one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent dealmakers, was included in Lawdragon’s 2023 Hall of Fame class, supplementing his recognition as one of the inaugural “Legends of the 500” in 2015. In a career spanning over 40 years, Climan has guided many of the world’s most recognizable technology companies through mergers & acquisitions, along the way setting incomparable standards for thought leadership and mentoring young lawyers. Climan has been described by Lawdragon as “one of the nation's best legal minds in M&A;" "synonymous with big-ticket M&A deals in the tech sector;" and an "M&A superstar [whose] stellar reputation extends far beyond Silicon Valley to the global stage."  His full public profile can be found here.

Katyal has argued in the Supreme Court more times than any other minority lawyer and is one of a handful of lawyers who have been named in the Lawdragon 500 every year since its inception in 2005. Stetson has argued over 130 appeals and dozens of trial-court matters, including multiple arguments before the Supreme Court, in every federal circuit court of appeals, in state appellate courts ranging from New York to California, and in district courts spanning the country from Alaska to Vermont.
