Hogan Lovells started small in Philadelphia, with two lawyers in 2010, but it has grown to more than two dozen lawyers through a number of associate and lateral partner hires. Among them was corporate partner John Duke, who joined the firm in 2016 from Pepper Hamilton, and is now the Philadelphia office managing partner.

Duke, who took on the role Jan. 1, is taking over for white-collar defense partner Virginia “Ginny” Gibson, who has led the office since 2016. Gibson, a former federal prosecutor, will continue to practice within the firm’s litigation group.
