An excellent place to pursue a career in the corporate governance/shareholder activism/investor relations industry. They are largely considered an industry leader and consistently rank at the top of the M&A and shareholder activism league tables every year. As an analyst you work closely with senior executives, their clients, and other advisers on a variety of campaigns including activism/activism defense, mergers, tender offers, governance consulting, stock-watch, proxy solicitations and more. Your clients may include publicly traded companies, hedge funds, and private equity firms. You will have multiple opportunities to build a network of lawyers, bankers, PR professionals, corporate executives, and more. The team is highly efficient and places great emphasis on teamwork and communication. Everyone is very friendly and easy to work with.
