Covington & Burling has added a competition partner from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP) in London, the firm announced in a statement on Monday.

James Marshall joins Covington after over a decade at the firm, having originally joined legacy Berwin Leighton Paisner in 2011.

Marshall said in a statement: "I believe we have a unique opportunity to build on the firm's achievements to date, at a crucial time when the U.K. competition agencies are introducing urgent measures to address the COVID-19 health crisis while also leaving the European Union, and I look forward to joining the team."
