Last night the partnerships of both Hogan & Hartson and Lovells finished voting on the proposed merger and it has been approved on both sides of the Atlantic. As of May 1, 2010, the two firms will become one mega trans Atlantic entity called Hogan Lovells. Although the new name wasn’t announced until mid November, Lovells snagged the hoganlovells.com address back on October 2nd.
The combined firm will instantly become one of the world’s largest with over 2,500 attorneys around the globe and revenues in the range of $2 billion.
