Covington & Burling has nabbed another high-level U.S. Department of Justice lawyer from Attorney General Eric Holder’s ranks. Mythili Raman, who left her post as acting head of Criminal Division in March, is now an equity partner at the Washington firm and will focus on litigation and white-collar defense.
Timothy Hester, Covington’s executive committee chairman, said Raman’s litigation experience will help her jump into ongoing cases almost immediately. The firm, he said, will introduce her to clients that seek experience in government investigations and regulation.
