Miami partner Richard Lorenzo was promoted as part of an international leadership shakeup by Hogan Lovells, which is combining some of its major practices groups and regions, the firm announced.

Lorenzo has been named Hogan Lovells’ regional managing partner for the Americas, a new region covering North and South America. The hemisphere previously was divided into the Americas and D.C. regions. The combination is part of a move shrinking the firm’s global regions from five to three.
