Hogan Lovells has announced the addition of James Davidson as a partner in their capital markets and Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) practices, based out of their Washington and Houston offices. This strategic hire is poised to bolster the firm’s capabilities in the capital markets sector.
Davidson comes with extensive experience in advising clients on various aspects related to REIT transactions, corporate governance, and securities market regulation. His practice spans both U.S. and international capital markets matters, which aligns with Hogan Lovells’ global reach and diversified client base. The firm relayed this information in their official announcement.
Davidson’s transition to Hogan Lovells marks his departure from Hunton Andrews Kurth, where he had presumably built a credible profile in the aforementioned practice areas.
This move is seen as a strategic alignment with Hogan Lovells’ goal to strengthen its capital markets offerings, notably within the REIT domain. For more on this development, Bloomberg Law offers further details in their coverage here.
