Our Associate role is an industry generalist program that exposes bankers to a variety of business models, transaction dynamics, and management styles through close interaction with senior bankers across the practice.

On the back end of the transaction, you will contribute to negotiation strategy and advise legal teams and clients on business issues in definitive agreements. Associates can expect to travel to pitches for new business, due diligence meetings with clients, and negotiations with strategic and private equity buyers.

- Superior organizational and project management skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
