Congratulations to the 13 Hogan Lovells Cadwalader fund finance attorneys who were recognized by in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America in Banking and Finance Law.

Welcome to this week’s Spotlight, where we introduce you to Douglas Gibbs, an English-qualified counsel in our Amsterdam office.

We're excited to announce that we've been shortlisted for the Private Equity Wire US Awards 2026 in the category of Law Firm of the Year: Private Credit and Securities, in recognition of our role in serving lenders to funds.
