• Contribute to winning new work by supporting senior team members to identify and navigate new opportunities, deliver client pitches and proactively follow up on leads.
• Work closely with other advisors (such as lawyers, due diligence providers, etc.) to review deal documents including providing commercial input on transaction terms.
• Provide commercial advice to our clients and assist them in negotiating transactions, often in time‑sensitive and value‑critical circumstances.
• Guide, supervise and develop junior team members, providing in‑the‑moment coaching and training to supplement their formal development.
