would be like, but Hogan Lovells is very inclusive and diverse, and there is an international outlook – we are constantly working with our colleagues in other offices all over the world on transactions which often have little to do with London other than the fact that they are governed by English law.” To sum up the appeal of the firm to an aspiring lawyer, Louise draws on her own experience. “If you are a prospective trainee looking for a combination of really extensive global reach, breadth of practice, a supportive and collaborative culture, and a first-class legal brand in the eyes of clients, then come to Hogan Lovells,” she says. “I would be hard pressed to name any other firm which offers quite that combination. If you asked me why I’m here, it is because I simply couldn’t do better quality work anywhere else in the City in such a supportive environment. For me, that’s a winning combination.”
