About Hogan Lovells Cadwalader
Hogan Lovells Cadwalader brings together the practices of Hogan Lovells and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. The combined firm's launch materials describe a platform centered on the intersection of business, finance, and government, with operations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. This profile reflects that combined identity rather than the former standalone Hogan Lovells practice.

The combination joins corporate mergers and acquisitions, regulatory work, intellectual property, and disputes with finance, structured products, and capital markets capabilities. Its stated regional centers of growth include London, Washington, New York, Germany, and the firm's French, Italian, and Spanish practices.
For students, the expanded mix is important when researching the firm. A finance or capital markets matter may connect with regulatory, corporate, or disputes advice across the combined platform. Current practice and recruiting materials are the appropriate guide to those opportunities as the two predecessor firms' teams and client capabilities come together.
