Milbank LLP is a leading international law firm with over 1000 lawyers providing innovative legal solutions for more than 150 years across multiple disciplines and practice areas. We are headquartered in New York and have offices in London, Frankfurt, Munich, Hong Kong, Singapore, São Paulo, Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
Our litigators handle a broad range of litigation, arbitration, regulatory matters, and investigations for sophisticated entities. We are known for deploying teams of exceptional lawyers supported by the latest litigation technology to deliver best-in-class service and strategic, innovative, cost-effective, and practical legal advice to clients. Our attorneys thrive on complex, challenging and “bet the company” cases.
They represent clients in a wide range of areas, including:
Antitrust: Milbank’s global antitrust team advises on the full spectrum of antitrust issues in the US, EU, and other significant antitrust jurisdictions throughout the world. Our antitrust litigators regularly handle multi-jurisdictional criminal and civil investigations and follow-on private litigation asserting antitrust price-fixing conspiracy, monopolization/abuse of dominance and market manipulation claims. Our attorneys have held senior positions at US federal agencies and regularly provide counseling to clients in these and other industries on a wide variety of antitrust topics.
Bankruptcy and Restructuring: Milbank is a global industry leader for creditor representations. We regularly represent official and ad hoc committees, individual creditors, companies, investors, boards, underwriters, and other parties in interest in corporate and restructuring transactions throughout the world. Milbank has successfully represented official and ad hoc creditor committees (often composed of members with divergent interests) in many of the largest and most high-profile restructurings over the past two decades.
General Commercial: Milbank is highly diversified in its complex commercial litigation practice, with matters including breaches of contract; business torts such as fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relations; and regulatory matters involving state and federal statutory law.
Intellectual Property: Milbank’s New York team provides comprehensive and sophisticated IP services to the world’s leading businesses. In addition to litigation, Milbank provides pre-litigation counselling, cutting-edge finance and transactional IP representation (including restructurings), and assistance with alternative dispute resolution and settlement negotiations. Milbank’s IP lawyers have extensive experience in both the “tech” and life sciences sectors.
International Arbitration: Our lawyers act as counsel and arbitrators in international arbitrations under all of the major international arbitration rules and before all major arbitral institutions. We also handle subsequent or ancillary litigation that may arise in different jurisdictions, including in connection with efforts to confirm, vacate, correct and/or clarify arbitral awards.
Securities: Milbank has one of the leading securities litigation practices in the United States, representing clients in some of the most influential, high-stakes, and high-profile cases ever brought under federal and state securities laws. Our securities litigators are backed by one of the nation’s leading white-collar crime and SEC enforcement teams driven by partners who are former Assistant US Attorneys from the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, as well as the former co-director of enforcement at the SEC. Our team has served as lead counsel in some of the largest and highest-profile securities litigation matters in the world.
White-Collar and Government Investigations: Milbank’s White-Collar Defense and Investigations lawyers, many of whom are former federal prosecutors and SEC attorneys, combine substantial government experience with in-depth knowledge of the legal landscape applicable to the financial services industry and corporate clients, and a strong grasp of criminal and regulatory enforcement issues faced by companies across many industries and jurisdictions. Milbank represents institutions and individuals in some of the most high-profile and complex investigations or prosecutions by law enforcement authorities, both in the United States and internationally.
