International & Cross-Border Disputes

Chambers Review

Hogan Lovells, a widely respected international law firm, has developed a comprehensive and highly-regarded practice in Germany. With teams stationed in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, the law firm's offering in Germany functions as an important hub for its European activities and broader international network. The law firm offers international expertise across an array of transactional and contentious areas, and clients will also benefit from the firm's sector orientation, as well as from its wide international network and ability to offer an integrated service.

Hogan Lovells is held in particularly high regard for its cross-border disputes capabilities. The law firm's intellectual property and life sciences practice groups remain among the strongest in Germany, and its practitioners are highly adept at advising on large, multiparty claims and product recall efforts. Members of the team in Germany are able to draw on the resources of Hogan Lovells' excellent global network and often work closely with colleagues overseas. Hogan Lovells' German offering also offers solid capabilities in compliance and competition/EU law matters.

From a transactional perspective, Hogan Lovells is a strong performer in multi-jurisdictional M&A. Both inbound and outbound deals are often coordinated from Germany, and transactions relating to the life sciences and pharmaceutical spaces are expertly handled by the team. The law firm also has an active cross-border capital markets practice, and is regularly called upon by German and international banks to advise on a range of issues. Alongside this, Hogan Lovells possesses strong capabilities in private equity and venture capital matters.
