Milbank Named Among Leading Firms in 2022 Chambers Associate Satisfaction Surveys

Milbank LLP has been named among the leading law firms in the 2022 Chambers Associate surveys in two core areas, Pro Bono and Quality of Life.

Exposure to pro bono service at Milbank starts in year one, enabling junior lawyers to gain experience working side-by-side with all levels of colleagues. The surveys highlighted the firm’s “huge civil rights class actions” and “a lot of work for the Legal Aid Society of New York,” with “everyone working on a pretty big pro bono case.”

Associates remarked on Milbank’s work for organizations like Her Justice and Start Small Think Big, which helps small businesses, commenting positively on their time spent “helping a nonprofit change its name and drafting up bylaws” and “writing up memos for public policy matters.” The surveys also noted that associates were impressed by the firm’s two dedicated pro bono attorneys who proactively “pitched projects to us and asked if [we] wanted to do something in particular. You have free rein to do whatever you want, especially juniors.”

Milbank’s top marks in the Quality of Life category reflect the firm’s commitment to fostering a culture that enables everyone to be at their best through numerous well-being programs, employee engagement opportunities, flexible schedules and more.

The annual Chambers Associate surveys invite junior associates at leading US law firms to comment on every aspect of law firm life, including expectations, aspirations, initial views of their firm, and client relationships.
