The American Lawyer covered Samantha Kirby’s arrival at Covington, where she will serve as co-chair of the firm’s Financial Services Practice.
In the piece, Samantha mentions that she was drawn to the “fantastic platform” at Covington, and was impressed by the team’s ability to “serve the full spectrum of needs of financial institutions of all sizes.” Samantha continued, stating “what also resonated with me was Covington’s deeply collaborative culture, where teamwork and cross-practice engagement are truly valued and encouraged. I was drawn to Covington’s long-term commitment to its financial services practice and to delivering excellence across the board, from regulatory expertise to deal work.”
Samantha said her first piece of business at Covington is to ensure a "smooth and seamless" transition for her clients, and she's excited about the prospect of helping to expand the firm's Boston office and strengthen its corporate and banking capabilities.
“Samantha is a distinguished practitioner in the financial services space, known for her expert deal execution, thoughtful insight, and keen ability to align her legal advice with clients’ strategic objectives,” said Randy Benjenk, co-chair of Covington's financial services practice, in a statement the article included. “As clients face increasingly sophisticated deal structures, evolving regulatory pressures, and heightened expectations for trustworthy guidance, Samantha’s ability to lead complex transactions and provide practice advice will be invaluable.”
Mike Labson, managing partner of Covington’s Boston office, said Kirby’s addition marks a “pivotal step in advancing our corporate offerings and deepening our footprint in the Boston market.”
“Her arrival strengthens our ability to serve the dynamic financial services sector with greater depth and insight, given her experience in one of the country’s most competitive financial hubs,” Mike said in a statement also included in the article.
