About Milbank
Milbank is the Wall Street firm that proves smaller can be better. With fewer than 800 lawyers, they generate jaw-dropping revenue per lawyer numbers that make far larger firms jealous. Their leveraged finance and project finance practices are considered the gold standard, and they have been a trusted advisor to the world's biggest banks for over 150 years.
