The world’s most sophisticated business organizations turn to Covington for anti-corruption advice and investigative counsel.
With roots in the conception of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Covington has been a leading voice on U.S. legislation and policy relating to anti-corruption enforcement and compliance, as well as on new legislation around the world, including the U.K. Bribery Act.
Our global practice has garnered the attention of numerous publications, including Global Investigations Review, Chambers, and Legal 500.
As the home to a former U.S. Attorney General, two former heads of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, and numerous other former high-ranking prosecutors, Covington has unmatched expertise in guiding clients safely through this prevailing climate of heightened enforcement.
