Alexander Forger joined Milbank (and Tweed, Hadley & McCloy...) in 1950 after graduating from Yale Law School—and after earning a Bronze Star as a US Army machine-gunner during World War Two. Alex became a partner in 1958 and went on to become the firm’s Chairman from 1984-1992. After retiring from Milbank, he continued his legal advocacy work with several organizations while also serving in various fiduciary roles. Alex spoke with us recently from his home in Westchester.

Glenn Gerstell

Glenn Gerstell will be the first to tell you that he has enjoyed exceptionally fortunate timing throughout his career. But as he reflects on almost four decades of wide-ranging accomplishments at Milbank, and his current role as General Counsel of the National Security Agency (NSA), it’s clear that Glenn has always had a talent for anticipating trends – and preparing himself for challenges – in order to end up in the right place at the right time.

Kimberly Banks MacKay, Head of US Legal for Novartis Business Services, was a corporate finance associate at Milbank early in her legal career. She has gone on to increasingly prominent roles in-house, and recently caught up with our Diversity Committee Chair Jerome McCluskey.
