Thirteen partners – and a peer

CDR News highlighted the promotion of 13 Covington lawyers to partner, as well as the arrival of Lord Francis Maude in London as a Senior Advisor in the firm’s Public Policy and Government Affairs practice. According to firm chair Timothy Hester, “Our new partners reflect the excellence, strengths, and diversity of the firm and will play important roles in the firm for decades to come and will help drive our key practices to even greater success in the years ahead.”

Hester, commenting on Maude’s arrival, says, “The results of the Brexit referendum will continue shaping the commercial and regulatory realities of the global economy for some time to come.” He continues, “As the world’s businesses, diplomats, and regulators grapple with the new landscape across Europe and around the world, Lord Maude will be able to give advice on the best way forward.”

Maude adds, “There is no doubt that the next few years will be pivotal not only for the future of the United Kingdom and UK businesses, but also for many European, American and international companies operating in the interconnected, global economy.”
