Hogan Lovells is set to launch in Luxembourg, with partners at the firm voting on a number of lateral hires for the new base this week.
The office, which will be the firm's 19th in Europe, will focus on investment funds, and will work alongside Hogan Lovells' corporate, real estate, private equity and tax practices.
A vote on the partner hires for the new office began last Friday (12 July) and is expected to finish in a week, with the new recruits set to come from a number of firms.
A spokesperson said: "We have plans to open in the country later this summer as there are a number of attractions for us in that market."
The firm last year worked with Luxembourg firm Bonn Steichen & Partners, with which it has an informal referral relationship, on French asset manager Amundi's multibillion-euro asset-backed note programmes issued on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The news follows Hogan Lovells' announcement last week that it has obtained a licence to practise in Sao Paulo, alongside the formal launch of its long-awaited office in Rio de Janeiro.
Last year the firm also confirmed it is also considering launching in Mexico, as part of further expansion into Latin America. The firm said all options were up for debate, including an acquisition, an alliance and a joint venture.
Hogan Lovells' move into Luxembourg comes after SJ Berwin secured a local launch at the start of the year with the addition of two new partners, including former Allen & Overy lawyer Alexandrine Armstrong-Cerfontaine.
