Working in Deals as a graduate

On our Deals graduate programmes, you’ll experience different areas of the Deals business; helping you to grow your internal network and providing you with a good foundation in all aspects of deals and crises. You'll obtain a breadth of professional experience and more in-depth knowledge across our Deals propositions. Our entry routes include pathways which include a professional qualification (ACA), ESG-focused roles and strategic consulting, to name a few.

Over the programme, we’ll invest heavily in your training and development. You’ll learn from experienced people, benefit from formal training courses and spend time with your Talent Coach. As a Deals professional you could also be helping our clients to prepare for, respond to and emerge stronger from a wide range of business risks and issues.

Lead Advisory and Restructuring

In Lead Advisory and Restructuring we offer a full range of financial advisory services to our clients across corporate finance, which includes acquisitions and disposals for corporate and private equity clients, restructuring M&A (mergers and acquisitions), valuations along with debt and capital advisory. We operate across all industry sectors – clients range from corporates and private equity houses, to major government departments and private sector contractors and developers.

Transaction Services

In Transaction Services we support private equity firms, investment funds and corporate clients through mergers, acquisitions and disposals. Advising throughout the lifecycle of the deal, we work on both the buy and sell side of the work, where our people develop specialist sector understanding and build key skills in financial due diligence. We have an excellent reputation of bringing deep industry expertise, actionable insights through analysis and deals experience.

Strategy&

Our teams work with a wide variety of UK, European and Global corporate clients (from large consumer goods companies, online retailers and FinTechs to charities, government departments and the public sector) and investors (private equity and investment funds). We deliver a mix of strategy consulting projects, addressing key CEO questions on issues such as growth strategy, market entry, mergers and acquisitions and value creation. We evaluate each company’s unique proposition and market positioning, identifying innovative opportunities for growth and flagging risk areas that need to be addressed.
