US, Global Law Firms Look to Ireland for 'Brexit Insurance Policy'

May 22, 2018, The American Lawyer

Michael Labson is quoted by The American Lawyer in an article regarding Covington's presence in Ireland. "We were focused on whether it’s a strategic fit with the firm’s overall strengths,” says Labson. “With Brexit, we saw the Irish office would be of growing importance. A lot of large pharmaceutical companies have significant operations in Ireland and large manufacturing facilities. We realized having folks like Maree [Gallagher] and Marie [Doyle-Rossi] on the ground would be useful as clients deal with Irish regulatory authorities.”
