Cohort Size

We develop custom programs for groups of 25-70 participants. We find that an ideal class size is between 35-60. This size allows for dynamic classroom discussions and a diversity of thought.

Pricing Guidelines

Pricing is dependent on a number of factors including the faculty, the size of the cohort, and the length of program. For a guideline on custom program pricing, refer to the per participant program fee of our leadership programs.

Developing a custom program requires a true partnership between the HLS program development team and representatives of the organization. We have worked with a number of firms and organizations, providing high-quality professional education solutions. Some of our partners include:

• Dechert LLP
• DLA Piper
• Liberty Mutual
• Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
• Program on International Financial Systems (PIFS)
• TerraLex

Since 2011, HLS Executive Education has been developing and delivering a modular, multi-year training program with Milbank LLP for the firm’s mid- to senior-level associates.

Through this first-of-its kind professional development program between Harvard Law School and a prominent law firm, we provide Milbank associates with immersive, six to seven-day programs designed to build their leadership and business skills. From their 4th to 7th year as associates, they join us on campus once a year. Led by Harvard Law and Business School faculty, and with the assistance of Milbank partners, the program covers topics such as business, finance, accounting, marketing, law, management skills, client relations and personal and professional development.

Associates who participate in Milbank@Harvard:

• Are much more competent in their core business skills and and are able to communicate more successfully with clients as a result
• Develop deep and lasting ties with their peers and the many Milbank partners who participate in their learning sessions
• Are better prepared to manage people and teams and assume greater leadership responsibilities within the firm and with the firm’s clients
• Greatly appreciate the firm’s impressive investment in their professional development, enhancing retention, loyalty and lateral hiring.
