The M&A Journal: Volume 24, Number 1 - November 2024: “Rick Climan - Tech M&A Maestro at Hogan Lovells”

Tech M&A dealmaker, rainmaker, thought leader, and innovator Richard Climan (Rick) has been shaking up the M&A world for over three decades – closing deals for market-leading players, lecturing around the world, and educating aspiring dealmakers with his signature mock negotiations and M&A Forums.  

In a special feature with The M&A Journal, Rick shares the details of his storied career, including memorable deals, personal highlights, his love of professional sports, and his dynamic tech M&A partner team of 25 years: Keith Flaum, Jane Ross, and John Brockland.

“The quartet… [helped] to transform Hogan Lovells into a tech M&A powerhouse overnight” when they joined our firm in 2017, according to The M&A Journal. “The group chose Hogan Lovells primarily because of its unparalleled international footprint [and] a much vaunted culture of legal excellence, high performance and seamless cross-practice and cross-jurisdictional teamwork.”
