West Coast Biglaw Firm Joins Milbank Scale

// A PR person from a firm here on the East Coast complained to me recently that I don’t refer to international law firms with regional terms other than that one, which is absurd, but here we are.

Irell is not that firm because Irell knows enough about recruiting to say that the West Coast can’t wait…even if it keeps ATL editors up after happy hour.

The Milbank Mo has hit the West Coast.

When will the rest of NYC respond…or top it?
