Speaking on the promotions, Hogan Lovells’ CEO Miguel Zaldivar said: "I am so pleased to welcome this tremendous group of talented lawyers to our partnership. Clients turn to us for their most complex, high-stakes work across our practices and sectors, and ensuring that we are promoting the next generation of talent is crucial to maintaining the exceptional legal services for which we are recognized around the world. Our newly promoted lawyers reflect our ambitious and supportive culture, and I am delighted to congratulate and thank them for their contributions and commitment to our continued success.”
