  • Covington Named American Lawyer Litigation Department of the Year Finalist

WASHINGTON—The American Lawyer has named Covington as one of its Litigation Department of the Year finalists in the General category. The publication also selected Covington as its Product Liability Litigation Department of the Year.

In its article “Covington Has Arrived”, The American Lawyer discusses the growth of Covington’s litigation practice over the past twelve years and chronicles its path from a regulatory specialist to one of the leading practices in the world. The article also highlights a number of significant client wins over the past year including the successful defense of McKesson in the opioid litigation, a $5 billion verdict for Ukraine’s state-owned oil and gas company Naftogaz against Russia, and a $1.4 billion cyber insurance coverage win for Merck.

John Hall, chair of Covington’s Global Litigation practice, notes that different partners led each of the significant matters, highlighting the firm’s depth of trial lawyers. “We are not a firm who has one big litigator whose name is at the bottom of 50 big cases. It has given us one of the strongest cohorts of young litigation partners in the country.”
