SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2012 — Covington & Burling LLP partner Sonya Winner has been named to the Daily Journal’s list of “Top Women Lawyers” in California. The list, which includes 75 litigators and 25 corporate practitioners, recognizes “excellent lawyering and leadership skills among women attorneys.”

Ms. Winner was recognized for her work representing financial institutions and other clients in antitrust and consumer disputes. This is her fifth appearance on the list.

“‘Litigation is fundamentally solving problems. Being creative about solving complicated problems is what I like to think I’m good at,’” Ms. Winner told the Daily Journal. “‘That can involve complex legal analysis, creative strategy and sometimes just digging into the facts.’”

Ms. Winner was a founding partner of Covington’s San Francisco office and is chair of the firm’s Consumer and Class Action Litigation practice group.
