Carolyn Kubota and John Hall are quoted in a Law360 article regarding Kubota's arrival to Covington's Los Angeles office as a partner in the firm's Litigation and White Collar Defense and Investigations practices. “A friend of mine once said, [trials] are the most fun you can have wearing a suit, and I’m a strong believer in that,” Kubota says. “I find [that], professionally, I'm never more engaged than when I'm in trial, and even though they're demanding, for me it’s the part of being a lawyer that I like the most.” At Covington, Kubota says that she hopes to expand the firm’s attorney general investigation practice and get into the courtroom more.

According to Hall, "Carolyn is a world-class litigator with an exceptional track record of trial success, and her tenacity and depth of experience will be highly valuable to our clients. Carolyn’s core practice, particularly her experience in high-stakes matters for pharmaceutical clients, fits perfectly with our long-term goals to grow both our Los Angeles and global litigation capability.”
