Victoria Nuland, former U.S. Under Secretary of State, has taken her wealth of diplomatic experience to the law firm Covington & Burling as a senior advisor in Washington, D.C. Nuland, known for her unwavering support of Ukraine amidst its war with Russia, will lend her expertise to the firm’s public policy practice and Global Problem Solving group.
Although not a lawyer, Nuland’s extensive career in diplomacy—spanning roles such as State Department spokesperson, European affairs chief, and NATO ambassador—positions her uniquely to guide U.S. and international companies through today’s turbulent geopolitical landscape. From the ongoing conflict in Ukraine to escalating tensions with China, Nuland sees an urgent need for businesses to both understand the risks and seize the opportunities of this dynamic global environment.
“I’m excited to help organizations navigate a world in flux,” she said, acknowledging the complex challenges posed by international instability and shifting political powers, including the looming transition of leadership in the U.S. and Europe.
With a career at the U.S. State Department that spans over three decades, Nuland’s insights are set to prove invaluable to those seeking clarity during these unpredictable times.
