LONDON—Phil Cheveley will be joining Covington's Corporate Practice in London as a partner.
Phil has a wealth of experience advising clients on cross-border and domestic public company takeovers, mergers, acquisitions, and disposals, as well as primary and secondary equity issues.
He has been involved in a number of high profile transactions in recent years, including advising GE Healthcare on its acquisition of Intelligent Ultrasound, Canaccord Genuity Group, Inc. on its acquisition of Results International, and the investment by HPS Investments LLC in its European wealth management business.
A number of Covington’s practice groups have benefitted from hires in London in recent months, including the arrivals of David Berman (Financial Services), Adrian Chiodo, Lyndsey Laverack and Jade Williams-Adedeji (Private Equity), Sonia Campbell (Policyholder Disputes), and Claudia Berg (EU Competition).
Catherine Dargan, chair of Covington’s Corporate Practice, commented: “London is one of our key markets where we have been seeking to deepen our bench of experienced partners focused on M&A and securities and capital markets. Following the arrivals of Adrian Chiodo, Lyndsey Laverack and Jade Williams-Adedeji earlier this year, Phil’s many years of experience at the intersection of M&A, capital markets and private equity will further bolster our practice and our ability to assist our clients with some of their most complex global transactions.”
Phil added: “Covington offers a fantastic platform for my practice – the firm’s international reach, deep expertise in highly regulated areas, such as financial services, life sciences and technology, and the collegial environment that fosters collaboration all made this a compelling proposition. I am excited to be joining this growing team and look forward to contributing to its success.”
Phil is a graduate of the University of Cambridge, and is admitted to practice in England and Wales. He speaks fluent Spanish and French.
