10/9/2014

London, October 9, 2014 - Covington & Burling has been selected as the winner in the Technology, Media and Telecoms category of Legal 500 UK Awards 2014, with a focus on Data Protection.

Covington’s European technology, media and telecoms lawyers draw on the firm’s deep roots in the software, Internet, telecommunications and media industries and act as strategic advisers to businesses seeking to navigate the extremely fractured and complex regulatory environment governing the business of technology in the 21st century.

Dan Cooper, head of Covington’s UK Data Protection team, commented: “Technology is everywhere these days, and whilst this opens up immense business opportunities, it also means that it is subject to more and more complex regulation. Covington strives to find forward-looking solutions to these commercial dilemmas, and we are obviously thrilled with this recognition which would not be possible without support of our clients in the UK, Europe and further afield.”

The Legal 500 Awards seek to recognize and reward the best in-house and private practice teams and individuals over the preceding 12 months. The results of this year’s Legal 500 UK Awards are based on over 50,000 interviews with key practitioners across the United Kingdom.
