Covington & Burling LLP has a reputation for excellence in the practice of law.  This reputation is in no small part due to the outstanding support given our lawyers by our exceptional non-legal staff.  The firm’s positive and respectful work environment in turn has resulted in great loyalty among our staff, many of whom have been with Covington for decades.

Covington has over 1,000 employees in non-legal positions in its US and European offices.  Our staff provides a full range of support services in the following administrative departments: Accounting, Human Resources, Information Research Services, Information Technology Services, Library, Operations, Marketing, Practice Systems Support, Recruitment, Attorney and Alumni Relations, and Professional Development.  Each of these departments is headed by a Director, and all of our staff operations are overseen by our Executive Director.
