Well-known for excellence
“They are my go-to team due to their responsiveness, knowledge of the business, technical excellence and well-crafted advice.”
FinTech and Payments – Band 1, Chambers UK, 2022
“FinTech is not cookie-cutter - an adviser needs to understand what the business strategy is and provide the proper advice - including newly developed areas where there is mixed guidance and a lack of clarity. Hogan does a nice job providing the perspective I need to make decisions.”

Named the Most Innovative Law Firm in the Business of Law North America, and 6th in Europe; also the 7th Most Innovative Law Firm in The Practice of Law.
