Covington Named Law360 International Trade Group Of The Year

February 20, 2024, Law360

Law360 named Covington an International Trade Practice Group of the Year, and the accompanying profile included commentary from David Fagan, William Isasi, and Peter Lichtenbaum about Covington’s international trade expertise.

David explained what makes the practice group’s approach to its work so effective and details how it reflects the firm’s broader culture of collaboration: “It's all geared towards: How do we strategize to get the best result for the client? And then: Who are the right resources internally? We don't think about who's getting credit for it. It's just not the mindset.”

When discussing the firm’s defense of Seagate in a Bureau of Industry and Security investigation of its exports, Peter discussed how the firm’s culture impacts its clients in a positive way: “[T]he collegial culture of Covington is probably the most important value that the firm has, and it means a lot in cases like this. I could not have done this case by myself. No lawyer could. You need, not just associates working with you, but other senior colleagues who are going to be treating this case as important as anything else that they do.”
