Hogan Lovells is set to expand its compliance and investigations practice in Germany with the hire of experienced in-house compliance chief Philip Matthey, who is set to join as a partner in Munich in October.

In particular, the hire of Matthey will expand the firm’s ESG offering globally, due to his experience in the implementation and management of compliance programmes, antitrust proceedings and high-profile investigations before the EU Commission, according to a Hogan Lovells statement.
