Hogan Lovells is looking to boost its efforts to assist clients with business interests in Israel, the firm announced Monday.

The firm has launched its Israel Regional Practice Development Team to seek opportunities to augment the legal services it gives to companies that do business in the country, or are looking to pursue opportunities there. About 50 Hogan lawyers around the world work on business matters related to Israel, said former Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., chairman of the steering committee for the team.
