Build the answer from four things instead, in order: one named transaction from their tombstones and what you found interesting about it; who you would report to, and what you want to learn from them specifically; why small, in your own words, tied to something you have actually done; and why this sector or region, if the firm has one.
Publishes the quarterly Canadian M&A report, so the firm has a view on the market rather than just a position in it: read it before the interview and reference it.
Mid-market advisory for private and public companies.
Long-standing independence in a category where most shops get absorbed.
