Uber Technologies Inc. has found itself a new deputy general counsel.

Tammy Albarran, a partner at Covington & Burling, was named to the post Tuesday, replacing Angela Padilla, as first reported by Bloomberg. Albarran will be second-in-command to chief legal officer Tony West who was appointed late last year after leading the legal department at PepsiCo Inc.

Albarran began work at Covington in 2007. She was named a partner in 2010, according to her LinkedIn profile.
