Experience

1. Deputy General Counsel

   Covington & Burling LLP

   Jun 2017 — Present · Washington, DC, US

   As head of the Conflicts team, I successfully manage 45+ lawyers and staff in the U.S. and U.K. in high-stakes, high-volume, time-sensitive environments. I believe in supporting their professional development and in creating a constructive and collaborative working environment through focused and dedicated leadership. Our team clears conflicts of interest across Covington\'s US, EMEA and Asian offices. I enjoy helping our lawyers parse through difficult questions of professional responsibility and regulatory concerns, and I have a positive relationship of mutual respect and trust with our partners. As a member of the Firm\'s administrative management team and head of a function, I am responsible for budgets and strategic planning, vendor negotiations, and various longer-term strategic projects. I have built good relationships up, down and across and I effectively collaborate with Firm management in driving Covington\'s success.
