Strategic Communications

The term strategic communications is often used without much thought to what makes communications strategic. Hogan Lovells thinks about how everything we say and do will take our clients from start to finish.

That means not just making persuasive arguments to decision makers, but thinking about the context in which decisions will be made and helping foster the public conversation that will be conducive to achieving the change we seek. We embrace the latest technology and understand the power of a simple graphic to make the complex comprehensible.

Our Strategic Communications team helps clients marry their legal strategies with their reputation and brand strategies. We provide clients a complete solution that spans media relations, crisis communications, litigation communications, reputation management, digital advocacy and social media management, and issue advocacy campaigns.

Hogan Lovells offers an integrated team of public policy advocates, strategic communications professionals, and lawyers with know-how in both the legal and the technical aspects of policies that shape our client’s business environment. We bring together the substance, the specialized skills, and the experience necessary to win. And unlike most other lobbying, PR, or law firms, we are a coordinated team of partners that work together to provide our clients a complete solution.
