Ingrid Rechtin Named a “Fast Track” Lawyer

April 13, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13 , 2012 — The Recorder has named Ingrid Rechtin to its list of “50 Lawyers on the Fast Track.” The publication’s editors chose the winners after reviewing materials on more than 300 nominees, all California lawyers in their first 10 years out of law school.

“We judged the nominees as leaders, lawyers and community members: Making the list typically required either substantial accomplishments in all three areas — leadership positions within the firm or practice community, significant responsibility in high-stakes matters and extensive community involvement — or a jaw-dropping example of accomplishment in one,” according to the editors of The Recorder, a San Francisco-based newspaper published by ALM.

Ms. Rechtin, an associate in Covington’s corporate practice, has led several corporate transactions and two significant pro bono transactions in the last two years. She recently served on the Covington team representing Microsoft Corp. in its $1.056 billion acquisition of the majority of AOL Inc.’s patent portfolio. Ms. Rechtin, who previously received the Legal Aid Society’s “Pro Bono Award,” is currently representing an Iraq war veteran in his application for Combat Related Special Compensation.

Ms. Rechtin received her J.D. from Harvard Law School and her B.A. from Stanford University.
