Covington & Burling firm's first cases was an international arbitration in The Hague, with Burling and Acheson representing the Kingdom of Norway in the Norwegian Shipowners proceeding against the United States. Success in that arbitration -- an award of the then-astronomical sum of $12 million -- helped build the firm's reputation. The burst of New Deal legislation a decade later increased corporate demand for regulatory expertise, leading the firm to gain recognition in fields ranging from economic to product regulation.
