Finding balance is all about flexibility—and we provide that through our policies and benefits:
Full-time flex time and reduced hours options
Eligible lawyers can choose alternative schedules to help successfully integrate work, family and other obligations.
Extended Personal Leave and Re-Entry
Eligible lawyers in our US offices can take an unpaid leave for reasons relating to child or family care, or other circumstances, for up to five years with the expectation of returning to Milbank when ready.
Balance@Milbank
This partner-led group advises on firm policies and shares tips and experiences related to work-life balance.
Milbank Parenting Group
Our Parenting Affinity Group provides attorneys the opportunity to share their experiences, discuss resources and best practices, and provide mutual support in navigating the issues that often arise in being a parent and a lawyer.
Other work/life benefits
Of course, we also provide must-haves for families like parental leave, back-up child care, and nursing rooms.
