About the Role
Our Transaction Services teams provide both due diligence and other deal advisory services across a range of areas on M&A transactions. This means you’ll be helping clients who are planning to buy, sell or take-over businesses with the execution of the deal. These are often large global deals with high profile clients.
What You'll Do
As a member of our Transaction Services team, you will help clients during the merger and acquisition process through analysis, advice and reporting. You’ll work on some of the largest and most complex acquisitions and joint ventures in the UK.
You will be allocated to an industry area to begin specialising in that area. You’ll combine market-leading approaches with cutting-edge M&A technologies to deliver projects for high profile, often commercially sensitive deals. You will:
- Develop an understanding of the target business and its drivers, interpreting information memoranda, business plans and publicly available information on the target business.
- Review and evaluate important data projections and report on key issues identified.
- Participate in various marketing initiatives and practice development activities.
Where You'll Work
We operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Your final assessment and induction will also be in-person.
How You'll Develop
As a Graduate within Transaction Services, you will complete the world-renowned ACA qualification via the accelerated pathway.
This role is part of our three-year M&A rotation graduate scheme. You'll start in Transaction Services (your “home offering area”) and gain valuable experience through two further rotations within different M&A offering areas. This structured approach allows you to build a comprehensive understanding of the M&A business as a whole, develop key skills, and network across the team. You'll return to your home offering area at the end of the programme.
You'll begin with a comprehensive induction programme, equipping you with the skills and confidence to work with our clients. Ongoing professional development will be provided through your project team, mentoring, and a dedicated buddy.
Application Deadlines
The closing deadline for this role is Monday 26th October (10am GMT), but we recommend getting your application in as soon as possible. Please note, some of our roles may close before the deadline if we experience high demand.
We operate a strict one application per year policy across our Early Careers opportunities. We recommend only submitting an application for a role that you feel is right for you.
