June 4, 2012

WASHINGTON, DC, June 4, 2012 — Euromoney Legal Media Group recently named Covington & Burling “Best Firm for Minority Women Lawyers” and “Best Firm in the U.S. West” at its inaugural Americas Women in Business Law Awards ceremony.

Euromoney -- which publishes Benchmark: Litigation, Managing Intellectual Property and International Financial Law Review (IFLR) -- said the winners were judged on their ability to support the development of women in the legal profession and provide work-life programs that enable women to pursue legal careers.

Covington was recognized for its “Diversity at Covington” campaign, a client development effort which showcased the firm’s senior women and diverse attorneys to clients and prospective clients. Euromoney also singled out the firm’s West Coast operations, which has more than 90 attorneys in its San Francisco, Silicon Valley and San Diego offices.
