Whether you’re a summer associate or a seasoned attorney, we provide ongoing training and development that reinforces a foundation for your career trajectory. You’ll build new skills, hone your instincts and learn valuable knowledge that will enhance your work and advance your career.

Expect training that’s varied, practical and that goes beyond the norm. From frequent lunch-and-learns, a robust mentoring program and tailored practice group trainings to our groundbreaking Milbank@Harvard, we take your professional development seriously.

Culture & Diversity

Added value

We know that unique perspectives and diverse life experiences combine for powerful results, and we recruit, train and mentor with this in mind. The result is an inclusive environment—one where everyone feels valued.

At Milbank we celebrate our individuality and the commitment to excellence that we all share.

Pro Bono

Committed with purpose

Redefining remarkable is only possible if we’re making a difference when and where we can. Milbank has helped those unable to pay for legal assistance for over 100 years, and we were among the first law firms with a partner dedicated to our pro bono practice.

We have the talent and resources to help solve a seemingly insurmountable challenge for an individual or organization, and we’re honored to do so as often as we can.

Partner Katherine Fell discusses the firm’s ongoing litigation aimed at remedying New York City’s dismal failure to ensure access to medical services for people in city jails.
