Hogan Lovells has taken a clear step towards giving its younger partners a high level representative voice with the announcement today (14 April) that it has created a position on the 12-strong board for an equity partner age 45 and under.
London corporate partner Ben Higson has been elected to the role and the firm has also elected German IP and technology partner Leopold von Gerlach to take over from Jose Maria Balana as the representative for Continental Europe on the board, which has supervisory responsibility in overseeing the affairs of the firm but without executive responsibility for strategy, management, and operating decisions.
