Lawyers
Leading individuals
Dion has been a real estate partner at Hogan Lovells for 16 years. He likes to stay close to the asset where he can add value to the deal. He likes to break down complexity in a way that can be easily understood. He likes to work with, not against, the deal counterparties to get the deal done pragmatically (and for everybody to come away feeling as if the deal has worked for them all).
