A Century of Legal Excellence: The Genesis of Hogan Lovells

It’s a story of ambition, innovation, and true legacy. We date back over 100 years through a series of combinations. We were founded by two great law firms, whose legacy includes lawyers such as Warren Christopher, former Secretary of State and partner at O’Melveny & Myers, and Harold Leventhal, former Chief Justice of the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit and counsel to Hogan & Hartson. We have approximately 2,500 lawyers operating out of more than 40 offices in the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. In 2021, The Lawyer wrote, “Hogan Lovells was the transatlantic merger that set the standard for others to follow,” in testament to the boldness of the vision and commitment to setting new standards in the legal services industry.

Three key regions are deeply embedded in our history: Germany, Washington, D.C., and London. Not only are these three regions home to a large number of our lawyers, but they represent also a significant share of our revenue. And the dense legal environments and dynamic markets in each have played an enormous role in shaping our firm’s development and strategy.
