    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The programme, centred on the Global Advisory division, provided an introduction to M&A, debt and restructuring and equity advisory. We spent the day listening to talks from bankers from a selection of teams, with Q&As at the end. We heard from different networks, such as the community initiative and women’s network. Throughout the week we also worked in groups to analyse and pitch a potential acquisition.
