Covington & Burling’s London office has appointed a new managing partner as the firm announces a double-digit increase in firm-wide turnover, with revenues increasing by 14.5%.

Roger Enock, a litigation partner who joined the US firm last year from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, has already taken up his new post as local office head – replacing corporate partner Ed Britton, who is remaining with the firm to concentrate on building the corporate practice. Enock will work closely with deputy managing partner Louise Nash.
