“Can a global law firm monetise its regulatory expertise in payments, fintech, and data law by embedding SaaS-style compliance tools directly into its client relationships?”
Hogan Lovells is a global law firm formed in 2010 from the merger of Hogan & Hartson (Washington D.C.) and Lovells (London). The firm has cultivated a leading FinTech legal practice advising payments, crypto, and financial institutions clients globally. In recent years it has invested in legal technology through its ELTEMATE platform and digital client solutions portal, offering SaaS-style tools (DPA generators, SCA toolkits, PISP/AISP authorisation tools) alongside traditional legal services. The 2025 merger with Cadwalader represents its largest structural change since formation.
