A reputation for excellence

For more than 150 years, our lawyers have been recognized for applying sophisticated, cutting-edge insights to groundbreaking legal matters worldwide. These accolades reflect Milbank’s commitment to our clients, our culture and our communities.

Our practices and attorneys are consistently lauded by Chambers Global, Chambers USA, Chambers Europe, Chambers UK, Chambers Asia, IFLR, Juve and Asian Legal Business.
