Hogan Lovells Boosts California Offices
Summary: Hogan Lovells added a team of Merger & Acquisition partners to their San Francisco and Silicon Valley offices.
Hogan Lovells offices in San Francisco and Silicon Valley received valuable boosts with the addition of a high-profile Mergers & Acquisitions team of partners. The Corporate team of Richard Climan, Jane Ross, John Brockland, and Keith Flaum are joining from Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
The international law firm will have Brockland, an IP and Technology Transactions partner, focusing on the development, transfer and licensing of technology and intellectual property assets. Climan and Flaum will be part of the global leadership team, and Ross will lead the team’s M&A work. The team has worked together for about 20 years, building a strong reputation in the Silicon Valley area and globally. They have worked with top companies like Adobe, eBay, Facebook, Intel, Oracle and many more.

We are excited to have this team of lawyers join us in Northern California, as they have represented market leading technology and life sciences companies on many of their most significant transactions. Their well-earned reputation, relationships, and market profile will expand our presence in one of the most active markets for corporate transactions and illustrates a focus on strengthening our M&A capabilities in key markets in the U.S. and globally.”
