Covington & Burling

Named a Law360 Firm of the Year for the seventh consecutive year (2025) with eight Practice Group of the Year awards, Covington & Burling is Washington's premier regulatory and public policy firm. C., Covington & Burling has approximately 1,200 attorneys across 10 offices including New York, San Francisco, London, and Brussels.

Covington is uniquely positioned at the intersection of law and public policy, with one of the most respected regulatory and government affairs practices in the profession. The firm's litigation practice is equally distinguished, having handled landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Covington also has strong transactional capabilities and is recognized for its deep commitment to pro bono, including a six-month rotation program placing attorneys in D.C. legal service organizations.
