Hogan Lovells Celebrates 120th Anniversary of Washington, D.C. Office

CEO Miguel Zaldivar commented: “Throughout Hogan Lovells’ 120 year history, our flagship Washington, D.C. office has been at the forefront of significant legal developments in Washington, D.C. and the world. Our foundation of excellence and achievements in Washington have been instrumental in transforming Hogan Lovells into what we are today—a leading global law firm that shines at the intersection of business and government.”

From its founding in 1904 by Frank J. Hogan, a renowned litigator who served as president of the American Bar Association and actively spoke out against antisemitism and racism, the firm has grown to become one of Washington’s largest law firms, with more than 450 lawyers and 180 partners in Washington, and more than 2,600 lawyers globally.

Office Managing Partner Ajay Kuntamukkala commented: “Our Washington, D.C. office has played and will continue to play a leading role in shaping Washington’s legal landscape. Our remarkable success is the result of a balanced approach – we have the country’s premier global regulatory practice, renowned litigation and appellate practices, and a top tier corporate, M&A, and capital markets practice based in Washington, D.C.”

In its 120 year history, the firm has become a global regulatory, litigation, and corporate powerhouse, serving multiple sectors including life sciences and health care, financial services, technology, energy, automotive and mobility, aerospace and defense and others.

Hogan Lovells was the first law firm to create a stand-alone pro bono practice over 50 years ago and continues to be a leader in representing clients in high-profile and impactful cases that drive societal change. Notable recent matters include our representation of voting rights group Common Cause before the United States Supreme Court in Moore v. Harper, one of the most significant voting rights cases in recent U.S. history.

Managing Partner for the Americas Richard C. Lorenzo reflected on the office’s milestone and noted: “As we celebrate this remarkable achievement, we remain committed to adapting and growing to meet the needs of our clients in Washington and beyond.”

Hogan Lovells celebrates this important anniversary and remains dedicated to providing exceptional legal services, while making a positive impact on the legal profession and the community.
