Covington Takes Heller Insurance Pair
Covington & Burling has picked up two top litigators from Heller Ehrman's insurance recovery practice. David Goodwin and Lawrence Hobel both begin work at Covington's San Francisco office today. The insurance policyholders practice, which is among Heller's key practices, is an uncommon one among big firms. As such, industry watchers say the practice could be a key consideration in any merger considerations. Merger rumors have been swirling around Heller in recent days.
