Vice Presidents within the Advisory group work directly with companies in evaluating, structuring and recommending financial and strategic alternatives, and helping companies solve complex issues on a global basis. The role envisages working on a wide variety of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset sales, restructurings and divestitures.
