Our Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) teams offer the full range of advisory and tailored transaction services for private and listed companies, fairness opinions, financial restructuring and privatisation.
Our Equity Capital Markets (ECM) teams specialise in helping firms to raise capital to grow their businesses through flotations (IPOs), rights issues, bought deals and accelerated book building, as well as convertible/exchangeable bond issues and equity-linked transactions.

Our sector-based approach ensures we identify buy and sell opportunities early, and have detailed knowledge of the key players in any sector and their assessment practices.

With global reach we deliver a flexible, focused, responsive approach that maximises opportunities in both developed and emerging markets. Our specialist product teams, including Equity Capital Markets, Advisory to Listed Companies, Restructuring Advisory and Business Valuation, apply their combined expertise and experience to structure, deliver and execute complex transactions.

Much of our work in Corporate Finance is high profile, attracting coverage in the business and financial media.

Corporate Finance Roles

Joining our team you will play an important part in all aspects of Corporate Finance. Graduates experience the entire M&A process – from marketing to execution – as well as helping to advise clients on restructures, Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs), joint ventures and exchange offers. You'll be exposed to a wide range of clients and projects, and will develop your knowledge through your day-to-day experience on the job, as well as from specific training.

Your main responsibilities will include:

performing accurate financial analysis and valuations by developing quantitative models for LBOs, Discounted Cash flows, multiples and mergers
preparing presentations and information within the origination and execution framework for M&A and Equity Capital Market transactions
ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met during the transaction process

You’ll need strong analytical, quantitative and strategic-thinking skills and a good understanding of corporate finance techniques, including modelling, financial analysis and valuation methods.

You'll be a highly motivated team player who is happy to lead and present, and work with various financial databases. It’s rare that you will be allocated to just one project so the ability to juggle multiple, unrelated tasks is important. You'll be a skilled communicator, able to grasp key concepts quickly and think on a strategic level, and you’ll be able to solve problems creatively.
