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.'
