Hogan Lovells has brought on energy transition partner Michael Bonsignore from Clifford Chance in Washington, D.C., identifying his practice areas as “strategic priorities” of growth for the firm. His move follows a string of energy partner hires in the capital region, as large law firms battle for talent amid client demand for energy regulatory and transactional advice.

Bonsignore joins Hogan Lovells’ corporate and finance practice group as a partner in the infrastructure, energy, resources, and projects practice area in Washington, D.C.
