Chief Executive Officer
Career
Widely recognized as a guiding light in complicated cross-border transactions, Miguel Zaldivar is a partner and serves as CEO responsible for Hogan Lovells’ overall global direction and strategic leadership. He is one of only a handful of Latino leaders of any major global law firm.
As a practicing lawyer, Miguel brings many years of experience in project development and finance, complex sovereign debt, and cross-border corporate transactions. He has facilitated multi-billion-dollar project investments across Latin America. He has advised U.S., European, and Asian multinational corporations in business dealings in the Americas, as well as Latin American state-owned companies and governments across a wide variety of international matters. He has extensive experience with global export-credit and development banks.
Miguel brings a strategic and unique approach to solving complex transactional problems, providing clients with creative solutions that not only meet their legal needs, but also take into account their business and other strategic considerations. Miguel’s background underscores his approach to conflict resolution and he is trained in both common and civil law systems. Recognizing that focusing on differences in law is not the single driver in negotiating cross-border deals, he deeply appreciates the importance of culture, including an in-depth understanding of each country’s unique political and legal systems.
