Milbank‘s high-yield debt practice centres on the TMT sector, along with aviation and energy. It has expanded its presence in technology and has a fine record in M&A financings involving high-yield offerings. The firm has strong links to both issuers and underwriters. Rod Miller has extensive experience in the high-yield field, for both underwriters and issuers. Paul Denaro and Brett Nadritch are also key figures in this area, along with the up and coming Jonathan Jackson, who leads the corporate finance and securities group. All are based in New York.

Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'The Milbank team is an incredible resource. These types of projects are in a realm where I have little knowledge, and they are great at explaining decisions to me in order for my business to make an informed decision. The team is available whenever I need them and is always efficient with their staffing and hours. The firm comes across as extremely hard working but also caring toward its partners and associates. I have had the opportunity to participate in events outside of our normal interactions and have found the team to be happy and valued at the firm, which translates into their exceptional work product and service to their clients.'
  • 'I work closely with a number of partners and associates, but I spend a significant amount of time with Brett Nadritch, Cheyne Cudby and Lauren Pasqua. All are available whenever I need them to assist in whatever I may need on a project. They are also proactive in a way that is collaborative and not just looking for work - they truly provide guidance and value and ensure I'm asking the right questions to protect the business.'
