What do people know about them, their CBs, and offers?

[Anonymous User]

Bump - really interested in this

[Anonymous User]

Also curious about this

[anon168]

If people want to know what it's like to work at MC, I can speak to that.

Dunno about the state of their CBs and/or SA offers.

Do you mind sharing? (or maybe about the other boutiques like Caplin?)

Thanks

I can only speak to Miller and their tax practice, but if you want to do tax and/or ERISA, that's the place to be. People are smart and generally foster a collegial atmo, and from what I understand the billable hours requirements (is it 1800?) is taken seriously, and not just as a suggestion like most V50 firms. That said, partnership track is as long, or longer, than your typical V50 firms, which can be a turnoff for many people. Lateral opps to IRS or other government agencies are really good. With all of that said, it's still a pretty button-up, traditional white-show law firm (even by DC standards).

Does anyone know of CB/offers so far this year?

What's with the fact that they have so few associates? I've heard that they are trying to not be so "top heavy," but almost everyone in their EB department is a member, counsel, or senior associate.

It's because people don't leave.

Anyone hear anything post-CB?

[Anonymous User]

Still silence for everybody?

[Anonymous User]

Have they made offers yet?

[Anonymous User]

When were people's CBs? I never heard anything from them after my screener, assuming I'm out of the running, but still curious.

[Anonymous User]

I believe they do super saturdays for CBs. Any offers?

[Anonymous User]

Any updates?

I know this post is a decade old, but thanks for this info, anon. Do you have time to briefly talk about Miller offline? My PM function is disabled, but I can give you a throwaway.

I worked there more recently. I can message you if you give me a throwaway. Better yet, ask about the firm on fish-bowl and I can find you there!
