We are delighted to announce our new IPMT partners and counsel. The promoted members of the IPMT practice span patents, trademarks, unfair competition, domain names, copyright, designs, trade secrets, privacy & cybersecurity, and IP & technology transactions, and include representatives from the Americas, Asia and Europe. Their promotions are very much deserved and we wish them success in their new roles.

Firm wide, they form part of the 25 new partners and 60 new appointments to the role of counsel in offices across our global network and in each of the practice groups.

Speaking on the promotions, Hogan Lovells' CEO Miguel Zaldivar commented:

"The promotions of this talented group are the result of the hard work and dedication of each individual, and their commitment to collaboration and to putting clients at the center of everything we do. The promotions reflect the breadth and depth of our diverse practices around the world, particularly our strength in a number of key sectors and in advising at the intersection of government and business. Delivering on our commitments to diversity and inclusion is a strategic priority of the firm, so I am particularly pleased that 16 percent of our new partners are racial and ethnic minorities. I congratulate all those who were promoted and wish them every success as they continue their career with us."

IPMT practice group leader Burkhart Goebel added his congratulations to our nine new IPMT partners and counsel promotions, commenting that they "reflect the breadth and strength of our team, from litigation and enforcement, to prosecution and IP & technology transactions".
