David J. Wolfson, Milbank partner and Executive Director who helped launch Milbank@Harvard, recently spoke about the program’s origins, its evolution, and its future.
Seven years ago, in the shadows of the financial crisis, Milbank launched a first-of-its-kind training program for mid- and senior-level associates in collaboration with Harvard Law School’s Executive Education Program. Named Milbank@Harvard, the program remains a commitment unmatched in the market. Every year the firm sends associates from its fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-year associate classes to Harvard to take classes from faculty at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School. The classes cover a range of topics, including accounting, finance, marketing, negotiations, macroeconomics, teamwork, leadership and management skills.
