Overall firm rank
Milbank's practice includes financing work connected to projects, technology, and infrastructure. Its public materials highlight transactions involving telecommunications, media, and technology finance, including data centers. These matters place legal work at the intersection of capital investment, commercial agreements, and the development of major assets.
A distinctive part of the firm's professional development offering is Milbank@Harvard. Developed with Harvard, the program serves mid-level and senior associates through a series of intensive courses. Its curriculum includes finance, accounting, leadership, team management, strategy, negotiation, marketing, and macroeconomics, taught with participation from Harvard faculty and Milbank partners.
For students, that program provides a specific example of how the firm approaches development beyond initial legal training. It connects legal practice with the financial and organizational decisions clients make. The firm's careers materials explain the program's eligibility and structure, while its practice materials show the kinds of commercial matters to which those skills can apply.
