WASHINGTON—Covington ranked first in Law360’s 2024 Pulse Leaderboard and Social Impact Leaders rankings.
Law360’s Pulse Leaderboard “provides a 360-degree perspective on excellence in the business and practice of law — ranking top firms by the breadth and depth of their reach in litigation and transaction work, the level of their prestige, and their commitment to socially responsible business.” Its Social Impact Leaders ranking “is built upon five pillars: racial and ethnic diversity, gender equality, employee engagement, pro bono service and responsible business. These pillar scores are averaged to generate an overall social impact score.”
“We have successfully built a range of capabilities that few other firms can match. Clients are increasingly looking for what Covington can offer — broad and deep substantive and regulatory expertise combined with high-end litigation, corporate, and investigations and white-collar practices across multiple continents,” said Doug Gibson, Covington’s chair. “We operate without the constraints of billing or origination credits and incentivize our lawyers to work together seamlessly across offices and disciplines. Our approach fosters stronger teamwork in service of our clients, who increasingly value cohesive, high-value legal services that integrate a variety of practices.”
Doug added, “We also believe it is possible to achieve great results while staying true to the very best values of the profession through pro bono legal services, and we of course will continue to focus on diversity and inclusion. We have a duty as lawyers to give back to the communities in which we live and work, and diversity and inclusion are important not only because they make us more competitive in today's marketplace — these values fundamentally reflect who we want to be as an institution.”
