Milbank LLP is pleased to announce recent additions to the firm’s partnership, including 12 attorneys across the firm’s global offices who have been elected to the firm’s partnership effective January 1, 2024, and 18 lateral partners who joined the firm in 2023. These new partners are based in the United States, Europe and Asia and span nine practice areas.
The firm is also pleased to announce the promotion of 14 special counsel across the firm’s global offices.
This significant growth builds upon Milbank’s 2023 partner class, which was one of the firm’s largest new partner classes, and the addition of Dickson Minto’s London private equity team, underscoring Milbank’s global expansion across key transactional, litigation and restructuring practice areas.
“We are proud to recognize the accomplishments of these talented attorneys who exemplify Milbank’s commitment to providing excellent client service across practices and borders,” said Milbank Chairman Scott A. Edelman. “We continue to strategically expand our global capabilities, and these market leaders and next generation of leading lawyers are integral to that growth. We look forward to their continued contributions to the firm and our clients.”
