Our culture


Our culture is about being ambitious and supportive. To achieve our vision of being a global leader that delivers exceptional legal services in highly regulated sectors, achieving results for clients and society, we need an environment that fosters success and brings out people’s best. Our culture is underpinned by four leadership behaviors which shape who we are as a firm. These leadership behaviors are demonstrated through what we do and how we act, bringing our culture to life across the whole of our firm. 

Employee supportive

Ambitious & Supportive

We are entrepreneurial, confident and distinctive and our clients come first – we do what it takes to deliver the highest quality of client service.

We solve problems for our clients, continuously offering all our capabilities, we set the bar high and operate at the top of the market.

We collaborate in diverse and inclusive teams, with respect and collegiality, and we are passionate about performing as a high-quality team.

We seek out and offer real-time feedback to develop the skills we all need to succeed, and we take pride in Hogan Lovells, our clients and in acting responsibly to support our communities.

Our culture in action




We recognize those who go above and beyond to deliver on our strategy and vision, collaborate across practices and regions, and demonstrate our culture in action through our internal HighLight Awards program. Take a look at some of our recent winners from across the firm.
