BTI Names Covington’s Tim Hester to ‘Client Service All-Stars’ List

February 15, 2012

WASHINGTON, DC, February 15, 2012 — BTI Consulting Group named Tim Hester, chair of Covington & Burling’s management committee, as one of its 2012 “Client Service All-Stars.”

The BTI “Client Service All-Stars” are North American and European lawyers who have been identified based on the unprompted, unequivocal recommendations from corporate counsel for delivering unparalleled service to clients.

The selected lawyers impressed “corporate counsel with a keen understanding of business issues, thought-leading approaches to legal services and total commitment to client needs -- an astounding feat when also tackling shrinking dollars for outside counsel and growing client expectations of law firms,” stated BTI when the legal research and consulting company based in Wellesley, Massachusetts announced the list.

BTI interviewed hundreds of corporate counsel from Fortune 1000 companies, asking about every aspect of law firm relationships, needs and priorities to determine the list.

Covington’s past winners include: Alan Blankenheimer (intellectual property litigation), William Greaney (policyholder coverage litigation), Gregg Levy (litigation and antitrust), David Martin (securities), Peter Nickles (litigation), and David Rosinus (finance).
