Associate Life & Development

As an associate at Hogan Lovells, you can expect to be challenged. You can also expect to work with people who are supportive and good-natured while maintaining the highest professional standards. The firm places a premium on associate training and feedback, and we believe that the best training is practical experience. As a result, partners look for opportunities to provide associates with hands-on experience and take time to educate associates on the practical skills necessary to excel in their practice. To prepare associates for these opportunities, the firm has created award-winning learning and development opportunities, providing in-house training programs that teach associates the fundamental tools to grow and advance their career. Each practice group also organizes specialized training sessions geared toward its particular area of law for associates.

Summer Associate Program

Our summer associate program in Baltimore provides law students with a realistic and challenging introduction to their legal career. Our program is designed to ensure extensive interaction with associates and partners and to encourage the exploration of practice areas. Hogan Lovells offers extensive practical learning opportunities, including working closely with partners and associates who are experts in their fields, along with access to a variety of training programs to give students an introduction to law practice. Students learn from our lawyers in a range of settings, participating in skills development courses, and attending closings, depositions and hearings. In addition to internal training provided by Hogan Lovells lawyers, summer associates have both partner and associate mentors and benefit from the guidance of a large group of lawyers who involve themselves in the summer program. We also host a variety of social events throughout the summer to allow our summer associates and lawyers get to know one another on a more informal basis.

Summer associates also participate in a conference in Washington, D.C. with their colleagues from all of our U.S. offices. At the conference, firm leaders share insights about the firm’s vision, culture and values, commitment to diversity, leading practices, management, firm finance and strategic plans for the future. Partners speak with attendees about their career paths and why they love what they do. Summer associates get to know their colleagues from US offices through group activities and fun team-building exercises.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 
Our commitment to delivering on DEI is a strategic priority for the firm. We take a multi-faceted approach to our DEI goals and objectives that leverage the strength of our people. Whether it is training and team building, accountability through leadership, sponsorship and mentorship or collaboration with clients, all of our work is driven by our core mission to cultivate an inclusive workplace where all of our people can reach their full potential as their authentic selves, to create a better, stronger and more collaborative firm that allows us to deliver the highest level of service for our clients.

Exemplary Responsible Business is an integral part of Hogan Lovells’ culture and strategy. Our shared belief in the value of social responsibility is one of the bonds that unify us as a global firm and we seek to engage all of our offices and people, as well as our clients and neighbors, in our Responsible Business programs. Through our global and local Responsible Business programs we work together as a community to promote justice, opportunity, inclusion, and sustainability.

Pro Bono - Making a Difference in Our Community 
Hogan Lovells’ pioneering US Pro Bono Practice began more than 40 years ago, when we were the first firm to establish a separate practice devoted exclusively to pro bono services. Since that time, our demonstrated commitment to community service has only strengthened and grown. We take seriously our responsibility to improve the lives of those without access to justice or the means to hire lawyers, and to meet the legal needs of charities and non-profit social enterprises. Our lawyers are engaged in a wide range of pro bono efforts, including handling ground-breaking and high-impact assignments. Summer associates and associates are extensively engaged in these efforts, providing all with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference right from the start of their legal careers.

Community Investment 
Our community investment initiative builds awareness within the firm and with our clients and other stakeholders about the local communities in which our firm operates and works. We support and develop projects that focus on issues of poverty and exclusion in our communities. The strength of the firm’s community affairs work lies in the excellent relationships we have forged with partnering agencies and local community leaders. 

Sustainability
As a modern global law firm, we acknowledge our responsibility to carry out our business in a sustainable way. Our overall strategy is to minimize our environmental footprint around the world through bike-to-work programs, composting, in-house water bottling, a rooftop bee hive, auto-light sensors and computer shut-offs, and much more. 

Wellbeing

Our wellbeing strategy seeks to create a supportive environment that enables all of our people to sustain high performance and drive.
