Miguel Zaldivar becomes CEO of Hogan Lovells. He is the only AmLaw 50 law firm leader of Hispanic American origin. Michael Davison takes on the role of Deputy CEO.

Miguel and Michael replace former CEO Steve Immelt and former Deputy CEO David Hudd, who have both served six years in their roles since 1 July 2014.

According to Miguel Zaldivar earlier this year: “I see my priorities as focusing on client service, investment in our key markets, incentivizing collaboration across the partnership, managing our profitability and supporting diversity & inclusion. I am extremely passionate about the firm and its success and that starts with its clients and ensuring the service we deliver to them is consistently of the highest quality. We are in a unique position with the depth of our practices worldwide to be the adviser of choice for clients who need their lawyers to be tuned into the financial, commercial, regulatory and political dynamics of their industries and markets.”
