What are you most looking forward to as you start practicing at Covington?

I wanted to work at Covington because the firm attracts some of the greatest talent in the legal industry, therefore I am most looking forward to engaging more with my colleagues and learning from them to develop my legal and technical knowledge.

What was it about Covington that drew you to the firm?

There were several reasons. First, there is a clear vision and growth strategy for the project development and finance team and I wanted to work alongside and learn from very well respected lawyers in the industry. Second, the firm attracts some of the best quality work, and finally, I was drawn to the firm's collaborative and supportive culture.

How are you building community with Covington colleagues during this period of "virtual work"? Any tips or learnings to share?

I started at the firm working remotely so I have built rapport with my colleagues mostly through electronic communication. I think that it helps to have your video on for calls with colleagues as it the closest thing to having a face to face chat, and I have built closer relationships with certain colleagues by scheduling virtual coffee catch-ups.
