Survey Says


  • “We did a mock financing and a mock M&A [deal]. They were helpful to get hands-on experience in a less stressful situation than an actual financing or M&A.”
  • “We provide substantive projects, trainings, and mock transactions/negotiations, along with real-life shadowing.”
  • “I worked on substantive assignments and active deal teams and corporate maintenance matters under direct associate supervision. I was able to easily ask questions and review drafting assignments with mentors.”
