Depends on specialty group. K&E’s specialty groups are usually not the strongest.

Depends on specialty. Love the inevitable comments on comp when the real difference in comp is at partner level where Milbank doesn't touch KE and never will

KE, with all of its 6th year Associate-turned-Partners has better partner comp than Milbank?

Agree to disagree, having been across from both multiple times. To each their own.

If you care about your career, go to KE. If you’re like the majority of associates on here destined to get pushed out of BL, then Milbank.

Attorney 1’s logic fares no better than the associates he’s mad at for complaining about market.

Which group?
