Partner, Hogan Lovells, Washington, D.C.

Head of the Corporate practice group in New York, Adam Golden advises life sciences companies on some of their most important transactions. Clients turn to Adam for his dual skillset, which combines his strengths as an M&A and corporate lawyer with those of an IP transactions lawyer. This enables him to represent pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies in the full scope of transactions that are common to this sector.
Over his career, Adam has advised clients on M&A, license and collaboration deals, venture capital financings, and commercial transactions. Frequently, clients seek his advice on hybrid transactions such as M&A transactions with back-end milestone payments or contingent value rights, options to acquire companies or technology, and product divestitures. He also advises clients on the transition service, manufacturing and supply, and other operational agreements that often accompany these transactions.
Adam is recognized as a leading practitioner in Chambers Global, Chambers USA, Legal 500 US, Who's Who Legal, LMG Life Sciences, and IAM Patent 1000. In 2018, he was named M&A Attorney of the Year by LMG Life Sciences, and a Life Sciences MVP by Law360.
