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).Anonymous User wrote:Do you mind sharing?

Thanks
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.anon168 wrote: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.

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.anon168 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 31, 2012 7:38 pmI 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.

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!Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Aug 06, 2023 11:24 pmI know this post is a decade old, but thanks for this info, anon.
