Hogan Lovells signs up for Birmingham Law Society
BIRMINGHAM Law Society has boosted its membership by signing up all of the lawyers in the Birmingham-based legal services centre of law firm Hogan Lovells.
Hogan Lovells is a global legal practice with 2,300 lawyers operating out of more than 40 offices.
Partner and head of the legal services centre Alan Greenough said: “We have committed to Birmingham by opening our legal services centre here at the beginning of the year and we recognise the importance of being an active part of this region’s legal community. Birmingham Law Society membership offers our lawyers the ability to become an integral part of the local legal community.”
President of Birmingham Law Society, Mushtaq Khan, said: “I am very pleased Hogan Lovells has joined Birmingham Law Society. We are always looking at the opportunity to speak to new law firms and legal service providers entering our region and there should be no doubt that over the next few years we will see many other London-based professional service providers, as well as other businesses, moving some of their operations out of London into Birmingham.
“With our highly skilled workers, high-grade office space, outstanding transport links and our geographical advantage to most other cities, what possible reason is there not to come to Birmingham?”
