Atlantic House is our London headquarters. We are situated in the City of London near to St. Pauls Cathedral and with the fashionable Clerkenwell area close by.

Atlantic House was designed to Hogan Lovells specification and to cater for the needs of our clients and lawyers, undertaking complex work - often to tight deadlines - when supportive and comfortable surroundings can make a real difference.

Citizenship

We believe in good citizenship. Our commitment is focussed and sustainable. Through direct involvement with individuals, not for profit groups and non-governmental organisations, we work with our local and global communities to influence change for the better.   We are committed to a diverse workforce that is inclusive and welcoming. We recognise our responsibility to a sustainable environment and embrace ethical business practice in all that we do.

Good citizenship is one of Hogan Lovells’ core values, and in the London office we are proud of our citizenship activities, including the pro bono work we do and our fundraising for charities. 

Our Community Affairs programme in London concentrates on involving members of the firm in projects that benefit the local community. This is achieved through a number of exciting and worthwhile projects, including St Aloysius Mentoring scheme.

All staff are given a day per year to volunteer and are actively encouraged to take part in these schemes.

Widening Access

The firm is committed to reaching out to a diverse range of people through our widening access programme. In 2010 we launched our 'Ladder to Law' programme in partnership with The Brokerage Citylink, which is unique to Hogan Lovells. The programme organises events for students from Years 10–12 in seven schools in London. The aim is to inspire the students to consider a career in law, and we are hoping to increase the number of participating schools in the 2011/12 academic year.

We also partner with The Sutton Trust and the College of Law on the Pathways to Law initiative, encouraging pupils from inner city schools to find out more about a career in law.

Through our widening access programme, we fully support the Government's Social Mobility Compact, which aims to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to fulfil their potential, regardless of the circumstances of their birth.

We are also one of 23 founder member firms of a new social inclusion commitment which aims to provide fair access to quality work experience in the legal profession for those from less privileged backgrounds.   The commitment is called PRIME and it launched in September 2011.
