Press releases | 12 September 2024

As part of its ambitious vision and strategy, designed to solidify its position as a global elite firm, Hogan Lovells announced today its decision to wind down operations in Johannesburg, Sydney, and Warsaw, and will close these offices in the coming months.

Miguel Zaldivar, CEO of Hogan Lovells, commented: “As a leading global law firm, we are focused on ensuring that we are present in strategic markets where our clients look to us for support and sophisticated, high-end work.

“Closing these three offices was a difficult decision, but one that was needed so that we can continue our path to achieve transformational growth and drive greater success – particularly in London, New York, California, Texas, Washington, D.C., and key international markets. This is part of our ambitious vision and strategic approach to continue to grow as a financially integrated global firm.

“We are confident in our strong global strategy and offering across our key practice groups and sectors, and will continue to serve our clients in the markets that are most critical to their success.

“We are deeply grateful to our colleagues in Johannesburg, Sydney and Warsaw for all their contributions to the firm and we are committed to supporting them through this process.”
