Lamonte is set to assume a leadership position within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Lamonte’s tenure at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader was marked by significant operational advancements, particularly during the firm’s recent merger. The combination, finalized on July 1, 2026, created a legal entity with over 3,200 lawyers across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions, positioning it among the largest law firms globally.

The firm has initiated a search for Lamonte’s successor, aiming to ensure a seamless transition and continued operational excellence. The leadership team has expressed gratitude for Lamonte’s contributions and support for his new endeavor.
This leadership change comes at a pivotal time for Hogan Lovells Cadwalader as it continues to integrate operations and expand its global footprint following the historic merger.
