Investment banking · Healthcare

You run the day-to-day work on mergers and acquisitions for healthcare companies, as a junior associate in an investment banking advisory team. Mergers and acquisitions, often written M&A, means one company buying another or two companies combining. Evercore advises the companies doing this and is paid a fee for its advice, rather than lending money or investing its own. An associate sits one rank above an analyst. You direct and check what analysts produce, and you deal with clients yourself.

You join the Healthcare team in London. It advises companies in biopharma, services, medical technology, diagnostics and technology-enabled healthcare. Biopharma means companies that discover, develop and make medicines. Diagnostics means the tests that find out what illness a patient has.
