Milbank LLP partner Alexandra Johnson created the firm’s innovative training program for junior transactional lawyers, Deals@Milbank. In this new podcast episode, Training Transactional Lawyers in New Ways: “What’s the Deal with That?”, she sits down with host Allan Marks to talk about lessons learned teaching drafting, negotiating, creativity, collaboration and commercial judgment to new lawyers. Sometimes teachers learn from their students, too, in pleasantly surprising ways.
