We aim to recruit talented and enthusiastic lawyers for the long-term and many of our senior lawyers started their legal careers at the firm. This brochure explains why we think Covington attracts and retains great people, and outlines what we look for in our trainees. I hope that, after reading it, you will decide to apply.  \nOur trainees tell us that they were attracted to Covington because we provide the responsibility and opportunity of a close-knit office, combined with the resources and prestige of a leading international firm.  \nAbove all, though, we recognise the importance of a great firm culture. At Covington you will find a firm with values of collegiality, high standards of lawyering, respect for others, a dedication to public service and a commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion. We have some of the best lawyers in the world because we understand that excellence in legal practice involves effective teamwork, clear and shared values and generosity to colleagues and clients as well as preeminent legal skills.  \nWelcome to Covington.  \n“Our collaborative, team-based culture continues to be a core competitive strength that differentiates us from other firms. Clients increasingly focus on our culture as something that allows us to deliver higher value services across practices and geographies.”  \nLisa Peets  \nPartner, London Office, Management Committee member  \nWhy Train at Covington?  \nYou will be joining a firm with a distinctly collaborative culture where the people are approachable, generous with their time, and passionate about the law. Our Trainee Programme is fundamental to the continuing growth of the London office, setting you up for future success.  \nAs a trainee at Covington you will have early responsibility and exposure. Working within small teams and playing a significant role in complex substantive work, our trainees work closely with senior lawyers and partners, and have a chance to make a real impact.  \nWe offer trainees the opportunity to work on complex, high-profile matters for clients such as Microsoft, AstraZeneca and Meta, whilst also playing meaningful roles in significant pro bono work. Our teams advise global tech and pharma companies on cutting-edge developments inAI, drug development and personalized medicine; support global hyperscalers on landmark data centre projects; and counsel leading energy companies on some of the largest renewable energy developmentsin the Middle-East. We have also represented Ukraine in proceedings against the Russian Federation before the International Court of Justice.  \nTrainees are encouraged to participate in pro bono work and to have a voice in wider firm initiatives too. A number of our trainees play an active part in our internal networks such as our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion resource groups and the Social Committee. Trainees are allocated a dedicated budget for social events and there are opportunities to participate in the firm’s sports teams and broader activities.  \nTrainees are supported throughout their training period via the Trainee Fundamentals Programme which covers a range of legal topics.  \nMentoring provides a valuable source of support, networking and opportunities to discuss professional goals. As a firm we are committed to mentoring and all trainees are matched with a “Buddy” upon joining and then a mentor. The Professional Development team meet with the trainees monthly, to provide support and assistance as they progress through their qualifying work experience.  \n“Covington provided me with the unique opportunity to gain exposure ","cbCaiiJ893nrAaCQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiJ893nrAaCQ","pdf",5599348,"English","# Introduction\n## Why Train at Covington?\n## Covington at a Glance\n## What Sets Covington Apart\n# The Training Programme\n## Core Trainee Seats and Electives","[{\"question\":\"What trainee support and mentoring does Covington offer in London?\",\"answer\":\"Trainees receive support through the Trainee Fundamentals Programme, monthly meetings with the Professional Development team, and mentorship.
