Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Committed

Decades ago, we recognized the value of promoting a variety of voices—we were one of the first major firms to establish a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, in 1992. 

We believe that a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, cultures, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexual orientations and ages bring perspectives that benefit our attorneys and our clients.

Affinity Groups

Building community

For over a decade, our affinity groups have offered gathering spaces and resources for lawyers of diverse backgrounds at Milbank, providing a forum for our lawyers, clients and experts to exchange ideas on increasing diversity in our profession, offer success stories, and challenge our assumptions.  

Collaboration

Let’s team up

Like us, our clients value diversity and often have innovative ideas and fresh perspectives to share. We always seek ways to collaborate with clients to achieve common goals, through mentoring/sponsorship programs, pro bono clinics, speaker series events, and more. 

Development & Recruiting

Careers, connected

Milbank strives to attract a broad pool of talent with various backgrounds and perspectives. We seek to create a rich tapestry of legal talent and harness the unique skillsets that make up our Firm to provide excellent legal services to our clients. To that end, Milbank engages in an array of various pipeline and recruitment initiatives, all with the goal of having a firm filled with the best legal talent.
