COVINGTON & BURLING is an all-equity partnership. Remuneration is entirely merit-based, with a wide range of factors (unusually also including pro bono contributions) taken into account.

The compensation ‘share schedule’ is set every three years at the beginning of the firm’s fiscal year on 1 October. A bonus fund of up to 15 per cent of net profit is also available to the management committee to make discretionary awards.

Covington’s equity spread operates on a one-tofive ratio. The firm has utilised a revolving borrowing facility for the past eight years and can, if necessary, convert this to longer-term debt.
