09 September 2024
Hogan Lovells has been representing Sovereigns since 1904. During this time, we have been involved in the some of the most consequential matters ever to face sovereign governments and state-owned entities. We provide our sovereign clients, and clients working with sovereigns, with legal advice that is underpinned by a critical and deep rooted understanding of the environment in which they operate and transact.
Our advice covers the entire “Sovereign Cycle”; advising on the many legal aspects affecting sovereigns, including sovereign debt and restructuring; infrastructure, energy and projects; public private partnerships (PPP); international disputes and arbitration; international public law; government and public sector relations; international trade; regulatory; sovereign wealth and investments, privatizations and acquisitions and commodities.
Our global platform and network of strategic partners connects key financial centers and emerging markets, enabling our sovereign attorneys to provide in-depth local and global legal advice to our sovereign clients, and clients working with sovereigns, wherever they operate.
Our legal expertise, combined with over 100 years’ experience in advising Sovereigns makes for a powerful combination and a compelling reason to work with the Sovereigns legal team at Hogan Lovells.
