In a consolidating legal market, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader launches as the largest law firm merger in history, with more than 3,200 lawyers across the Americas, EMEA, and Apac. Deliberately balanced across practices, sectors, and key G20 nations, the firm combines leading corporate M&A, regulatory, IP, and disputes practices with elite finance, structured products, and capital markets capabilities.
Following overwhelming partnership approval in April, the firms mobilized cross-functional teams to support a seamless launch of the combined firm.
The firm’s client base includes many of the world’s leading financial institutions, multinational corporations, private capital firms, governments, sovereign entities, and companies operating in highly regulated sectors.
“The launch of Hogan Lovells Cadwalader marks a defining moment for each of our firms – bringing together two storied institutions with long records of excellence in the legal industry,” said Miguel Zaldivar, CEO of Hogan Lovells Cadwalader. “We are building on these strengths with a keen eye toward the evolving needs of our clients – who are increasingly seeking advisors to help them navigate their most complex matters across key G20 economies.”
From complex transactions to regulatory change and high-stakes disputes, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader is positioned to support the full range of clients’ legal needs. Strength across highly regulated sectors enables firm lawyers to help clients anticipate challenges, unlock opportunities, and achieve meaningful results.
The Luxembourg office, established in 2013, has built a strong reputation across investment funds, tax, banking and capital markets, and corporate and M&A. The combination enhances the firm’s existing offering with market-leading capabilities for financial institutions, particularly in fund finance, further reinforcing its position in the Luxembourg market.
“This marks an important milestone for our Luxembourg office and opens up exciting opportunities for the future. We look forward to bringing our enhanced global platform and combined expertise to clients in Luxembourg and beyond,” said 
“We have taken a thoughtful approach to practice and client integration to ensure that from Day One, our clients will have the full benefit of the new platform we have created.” said Patrick Quinn, global managing partner for client and practice integration at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader.
Hogan Lovells Cadwalader will continue to invest in priority markets, practices, talent, and technology, including AI and other tools that support clients on complex cross-border work.
With the scale and depth to meet client needs wherever business, finance, and government intersect, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader begins its next chapter as an integrated global firm built for the future.
