GIR Names Covington Among “Elite” Washington FCPA Practices

WASHINGTON—Global Investigations Review has named Covington’s FCPA practice among Washington’s “elite,” the highest tier in its “Washington DC’s FCPA Bar” survey.

In its profile, GIR notes Covington’s “deep bench of high-level former prosecutors,” including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; the last two former heads of the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice, Lanny Breuer and Mythili Raman; and Steven Fagell, former deputy Chief of Staff and Counselor to the head of the Criminal Division and now co-chair of Covington’s anti-corruption practice. The publication also highlights the firm’s representation of an oil exploration company during DOJ and SEC investigations into potential FCPA violations, both of which were favorably resolved.
