Consumer - Global lawyers - Hogan Lovells

The Hogan Lovells Consumer Sector brings more dedication and depth to the consumer industry than any other law firm. While the products our clients produce vary greatly, we unite as one team because we understand the growing sophistication and power of the consumer.

Our approach is hands-on and committed, placing value on long-term relationships. Our multilingual, multijurisdictional lawyers are where you need us – New York, London, Milan, Amsterdam, Dubai, Shanghai, Mexico, Indonesia, and Vietnam, among other consumer, financial, sourcing, and distribution hubs.

We focus not just on the product lifecycle, but on the business lifecycle, addressing any challenges that face in-house legal teams and CEOs alike. We anticipate the developments that may have an impact on your operations – and we are laser-focused on remaining at the forefront of those issues.

We build the right team for each client and each matter in order to provide the most efficient counsel possible and achieve the outcomes you want.
