WASHINGTON—Covington, together with Israeli-based law firm Allens and Herzog Fox & Neeman, is representing Aristocrat Leisure Limited, a leading provider of gaming solutions, in its acquisition of Plarium Global Limited and the related acquisition financing.

The Covington team included Kerry Burke and Rachel Beller (financing); Deb Garza, Miranda Cole, David Addis, and Wesley Lepla (antitrust and competition); Stephen Infante, Allison Schiffman, and Lauren Shor (corporate); Robert Hunziker (intellectual property), Peter Flanagan (international trade); James Garland and Peter Lichtenbaum (compliance); and William Woolston and Erika Skougard (employee benefits and executive compensation).
