2024 DIVERSITY DATABASE UNDERWRITER Hogan Lovells

Our Survey Says

 VAULT'S VERDICT:

Hogan Lovells targets top law schools, holistically prioritizing personality and talent in its hiring and not compromising its standards. Associates describe colleagues as well-rounded and personable with a genuine interest in each other as people. A working partnership model at the firm means that partners and senior attorneys are in the trenches with associates, boosting morale. Hogan Lovells maintains a flexible hybrid work policy with a loose three-days-per-week in-office requirement, which the firm supports with solid technology and an excellent IT team. Compensation is based on a 2,000-hour requirement and has continued to match the market rate. At Hogan Lovells, 150 pro bono hours are credited toward this requirement. The work is very substantive, and assignments are targeted to individual strengths and abilities rather than solely on associate class year, but they can vary. The firm offers on-site counselors and opportunities to bond and relax throughout the week. Mentorship is supported, and HL Learn provides live and recorded classes. The firm also offers a confidential career coach to help associates chart their career paths. Counsel positions are stepping stones to non-equity partnership, and in-house and government opportunities are available.

We seek talented individuals from all backgrounds to build diverse and integrated teams. We invest in our people.
