A group of more than two dozen Hogan Lovells’ lawyers is helping Adobe Systems Inc. ramp up in the digital commerce market, advising the 35-year-old software company in its $1.68 billion buy of e-commerce services provider Magento Commerce.

Adobe, which makes the popular Photoshop and Illustrator creative programs, said Monday that the deal will add a key piece of commerce functionality to its cloud-based platform that services both business-to-business and business-to-consumer customers, while strengthening Adobe’s hand relative to marketing software rivals such as Oracle Corp. and Salesforce.com Inc.
