Hogan Lovells acting for Uber as it appeals Transport for London's (TfL) decision not to renew its London operating licence, according to a person close to the situation.

Earlier this year, TfL announced that Uber would not be granted a new private hire operator's licence following its latest application, due to a "pattern of failures by the company including several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk".

Hogan Lovells head of public law and policy Charles Brasted will be acting for Uber in the fresh legal challenge, according to a person with knowledge of the case.
