A commitment to your future

At Hogan Lovells, you will have access to many opportunities to develop and refine your legal skills.

With guidance from lawyer coordinators and mentors, summer associates complete meaningful client work and participate in training programs designed to develop and enhance legal skills. Summer associates have opportunities to attend client meetings, closings, and legislative and administrative hearings, and meet with firm alumni serving in prominent roles in government and business. Through varied virtual and in-person programming, summer associates hear from Hogan Lovells leaders about our vision and values, practice areas, financial information, and strategic plans for the future, and learn about the functions of the firm. Group team building exercises and work assignments allow summer associates get to know their colleagues across the U.S. and make lifelong connections.

Professional training continues throughout the careers of our lawyers, with many opportunities to learn by doing supplemented by a wide range of programs facilitated by the HL Learn team. The quality of our legal training is reflected in the fact that Hogan Lovells lawyers are recognized as pre-eminent in a wide variety of fields and our alumni serve in prominent leadership roles in government and business. Hogan Lovells is committed to fostering your professional development, including attentive mentoring that is essential to professional growth.

Support for the professional development of our associates continues through participation in our Lawyer Development Framework which helps our attorneys to achieve their career goals.

An inclusive atmosphere

Our commitment to being a diverse and inclusive place to work is at the core of our vision and our values. Hogan Lovells’ success depends on our ability to foster a work environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences may reach their full potential. We have a long history of being committed to recruiting, retaining, and promoting lawyers and others with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We continue to build on our history as one of the first major U.S. law firms to achieve a critical mass of people of color and women. Our culture of inclusion, which respects and values the diversity of all our people, significantly enhances the quality of our workplace and our ability to provide excellent legal services to our clients.

Make a difference in your community

Hogan Lovells' commitment to pro bono legal work is deeply rooted in our culture and history. Our 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. Drawing on the experience of our professionals worldwide, 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 nonprofit social enterprises. Our people at every level are extensively engaged in these efforts, providing you with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference right from the start of your career.
