Covington Named Among Top Five on American Lawyer’s 2019 “A-List”

July 23, 2019

WASHINGTON—The American Lawyer has named Covington to its 2019 “A-List,” an annual ranking of the top 20 firms based on revenue per lawyer, pro bono commitment, diversity, associate satisfaction, and the percentage of female equity partners.

Covington has appeared on the “A-List” fourteen times since it was introduced in 2003. This year, Covington ranked fifth overall, up three spots from last year.

“We have built over many years a combination of substantive and regulatory expertise combined with high-end litigation, corporate, and investigations and white collar practices across multiple continents to deliver significant value and expertise to our clients,” said the firm’s Chair, Timothy Hester. “Beyond these practice and substantive strengths, we see increasingly that the most sophisticated clients are focused on our collaborative, team-based culture — and a lack of origination or billing credits — as well as our focus on building diverse legal teams and our dedication to pro bono legal service as important characteristics that set Covington apart and provide higher value to them.”
