Suzanne Filippi, a former in-house legal executive at two Cambridge, Massachusetts-area pharmaceutical companies, is joining Hogan Lovells’ 2-year-old Boston office, the firm said Monday.

Filippi will be a partner in the firm’s life sciences and health care industry group, which follows her prior roles at Aegerion Pharmaceuticals and Sage Therapeutics, the latter of which she joined and left this year. Her new practice at Hogan Lovells will include complex corporate and M&A transactions for clients who are in the life sciences industry, such as pharmaceutical companies.
