The combination between global law firm Hogan Lovells and Boston-based law firm Collora is now effective. The new Hogan Lovells office in downtown Boston comprises 28 lawyers and 16 business services staff.

“Our new team of lawyers in Boston is renowned for advising in complex litigation and investigations, particularly in the life sciences and financial services sectors,” said Hogan Lovells CEO Steve Immelt. “Their addition strategically bolsters our services to clients, many of whom are already part of Boston’s dynamic and growing market.”

“We are thrilled to be a part of Hogan Lovells’ global team and collaborate with lawyers in the firm’s other offices,” said Bill Lovett, the former managing partner of Collora, who is now the Office Managing Partner of the Hogan Lovells Boston office. “Our capability to offer global services in a wider array of practices is already extending our relationships with existing clients and establishing new opportunities both in and outside of the Boston area.”

According to Hogan Lovells, the Boston office offers its global, national, and regional clients exceptional resources to expand their business.  The combination with Collora expands Hogan Lovells’ existing and very successful life sciences and healthcare practice, which has more than 500 lawyers worldwide, as well as its financial services practice.  Boston area clients include global leaders in technology and life sciences, financial services, elite academic and research institutions, and world-class medical facilities.
