James Halstead, Managing Partner

Welcome to Covington. You are about to begin what will hopefully be an exciting and successful career in the law, and it is critical that you start by selecting the best firm for you. We aim to recruit talented and enthusiastic lawyers for the long term and many of our senior lawyers have been with the firm their entire careers. Our trainees tell us that they were attracted to Covington in London because we provide the responsibility and opportunity of a close-knit office, combined with the resources and prestige of a leading international firm. Above all, though, we recognise the importance of a great firm culture. We have some of the best lawyers in the world because we understand that excellence in legal practice involves effective teamwork, clear and shared values and generosity to colleagues and clients as well as preeminent legal skills analysis.

Experienced Lawyers

We are always looking for talented lawyers who share our values of excellence and collegiality, and whose professional experience will complement or enhance our practice. We value the skills, knowledge, expertise, and relationships that qualified associates with previous work experience bring to the firm.

Applying to Covington

We are keen to hear from exceptional talent, looking for new opportunities within our practice groups.

At Covington, we strive to maintain the highest standards of integrity to ensure the commercial success and reputation of our firm. One means by which we do this is through conducting routine background checks, which is a requirement of joining Covington. The standard pre-employment background checks we may conduct on prospective partners, lawyers, and employees include checks relating to public social media presence, criminal records, education and employment history. Additional checks may be undertaken appropriate to the requirements of the role. All background checks are conducted in accordance with applicable local laws.
