Testimonials

‘The Covington team I worked with is very good. They're hands-on and compare favourably with more reputable firms. In our case, we work a lot with Gabriel Mesa and Laura Bleier.’
‘Laura Bleier, along with Gabriel Mesa, seemed very engaged throughout the entire operation. They're both senior staff, but they were very on top of every detail. Something I really appreciated during the work was how they involved us in conversations with the client, a situation that greatly helped make the work more efficient.'
