Covington Ranked in 2026 Lexology 100: Data Global Elite

WASHINGTON—Covington has again been named among the top five firms in the Lexology 100: Data Global Elite, with the firm earning the top spot in the litigation category, as well as being recognized for its advisory work. 

Formerly known as the GDR 100, the Lexology rankings identify and profile 150 of the world’s preeminent law firms advising on data laws and regulations and assisting with related disputes. Only 25 firms on the list are recognized in the “Global Elite” category. Lexology assesses each firm’s privacy and data protection capabilities specifically, along with the work they perform on data laws more generally. 

Lexology said of Covington: “The firm this year excelled in litigation, where it easily won first place ahead of some stiff competition…The firm’s practice overall is arguably equally as strong in the US as it is in Europe – that’s a truly rare feat that few others can boast.”
