Election Year Opportunity Covington & Burling has recently launched an Election Year Toolkit to help clients navigate election-related legal and regulatory developments, signaling a potential need for ongoing governance, compliance, and political law services as clients prepare for upcoming cycles.

Expanding Leadership Significant hires and leadership appointments across practices and regions (M&A, technology industry group, financial services, European public policy) indicate a growing opportunity for cross‑selling in corporate, tech, financial services, and international advisory services.

Global Footprint With offices spanning North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia, Covington presents a ready platform for multinational clients seeking integrated cross‑border legal support, enabling upsell of advisory, compliance, and regulatory services globally.

Public Policy & Compliance Strengthening public policy and regulatory capabilities (European Public Policy Practice leadership, competition law collaboration with government ministries) points to opportunities for clients facing antitrust, regulatory, or policy risk across jurisdictions.

Financial & Pro Bono Depth A robust financial services practice co‑led by new co‑chair, combined with a strong pro bono and public service culture, can be leveraged to offer sustainability, governance, and risk management solutions to financial institutions and socially responsible clients seeking brand and impact alignment.
