Dear Covington & Burling Hiring Team,

As a detail-oriented Corporate Associate with 2 years of experience and I'd love to join your team, as seen on the Firm's website. In my current position I have successfully negotiated multiple m&a deals averaging $500k in value over the last year and now I'm excited to continue my journey by contributing and growing at Covington & Burling.

Here’s why I believe I'd be a perfect fit for the position:

First, I’ve always been intellectually curious about comprehending how thing work in the Legal sector. As a Corporate Associate at Greenberg Traurig, I wanted to push myself and understand each specific of my day to day.

Before starting my career, I've obtained a Juris Doctor Degree at Harvard Law School. These academic skills were the foundations which helped me to become the go-to person to ask about drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide variety of corporate documents including partnership agreements, stock purchase agreements, and merger agreements.

Second, I have plenty of experience handling due diligence in m&a transactions. At Greenberg Traurig, I’ve managed delicate situations related to advising clients on matters involving corporate governance and regulatory compliance and been successful at meeting approaching deadlines where I had to think quickly on my feet. As the company scaled, I’ve taken increased responsabilities including mentoring and helping newcomers adapt to company culture.

Finally, I am excited about Covington & Burling's vision and core values. As a highly analytical and dedicated Corporate Associate, I recognize the importance of working in a company with a rigorous and collaborative environment.

I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to Covington & Burling, and I am ready to commit to the high standards and ambitions your team upholds. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Cameron Martinez
