It's all the same, just go where you think you'll fit in the best.

For culture Milbank will be better than W&C, just check out posts around here trashing their summer program and partners recently. Then Milbank is much better ranked than Wilkie.

Re: Milbank v. White and Case v. Willkie
These posts are highly misguided..
Its probably written by law students.
Willkie is a much stronger firm in nyc in terms of transactional. Every practicing corporate lawyer in new york would agree.
The "rank" you are referring to is probably vault ranking, which is a stupid metric to base your decision on. Milbank used to be a v50 firm but only got up to v11 due to the recent salary raise. Many associates decided to give it a 10 thanks to Milbank being a compensation leader.
This is what happens if you choose a firm based on vault. If you are into ny corporate, Willkie is in a different league. Choose Milbank only if you are into project finance, and W&C if you are into cross border work. Otherwise, for general corporate, Willkie is a clear winner.

People voting for Milbank is probably due to Vault. Please be aware that Milbank's vault ranking used to be v40-50, but only recently arose to v11 due to Milbank's recent salary increase. Many attorneys rated Milbank very high because of that.
