Milbank LLP Strengthens Its Washington, DC Footprint

Milbank LLP has officially announced the completion of its move within Washington, DC, transitioning to a new and expansive office space at 1101 New York Avenue NW. This strategic move aims to bolster the firm's presence in the nation's capital and facilitate further growth in its legal practice.

The new office encompasses over 64,000 square feet spread across two floors, located in a state-of-the-art building designed to meet LEED standards. The facility boasts impressive floor-to-ceiling windows, a modern fitness center for employees, and a rooftop terrace that offers stunning views of the iconic DC skyline. According to Milbank Chairman Scott A. Edelman, this upgraded environment captures the dynamic culture of the firm and enhances its capacity to provide top-tier service to clients.

Milbank has maintained a presence in Washington, DC for more than 40 years, beginning its journey there in 1980. The firm is recognized as a key player in the local market, particularly in Bankruptcy Litigation, Transportation and Space, and Global Risk National Security practices. Recently, the Washington office has seen phenomenal growth, with a reported 49% increase in key practice areas within the last two years alone.

In a significant development, Milbank has launched its Supreme Court and Appellate practice, led by renowned Supreme Court attorney Neal Katyal, who joined the firm recently. Mr. Katyal's team has also welcomed former Assistant to the Solicitor General Colleen Roh Sinzdak and appellate attorney Will Havemann, strengthening its capability to navigate complex appellate litigation.

Additionally, Milbank has broadened its White Collar Defense and Investigations as well as Antitrust practices, bringing on board a slew of high-profile professionals such as Olivia Choe, previously the Chief Litigation Counsel at SEC, and Josh Sterling, former Director of the Market Participants Division of CFTC. With these additions, Milbank’s Washington office boasts one of the most robust benches of former government officials within any law firm in the country.

The firm is also augmenting its cutting-edge practices in tax renewables, FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), and CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) with the recruitment of experts like John Green, Jenna McGrath, and John Beahn.

Managing Partner of Milbank’s Washington office, Andrew Leblanc, commented on the extraordinary growth of the office and the necessity for an innovative workspace designed for collaboration. The office was expertly designed by Lehman Smith McLeish (LSM), a global architectural firm known for its previous projects including offices for Milbank in New York and London.

The transition signifies more than just a change of address for Milbank; it reflects a commitment to adapt and grow in an ever-evolving legal landscape. As the firm continues to evolve, it affirms its focus on meeting clients' strategic needs through innovative legal solutions.
