Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Morrison Park Advisors
At this size the interviewer is usually a founding partner, so a reason assembled from the firm’s homepage will not survive. 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.
Independent advisory known for fairness opinions and special committee work, which is a distinct discipline from sell-side M&A.
The work is governance-heavy and intellectually demanding.
No financing arm, so the independence is structural rather than claimed.
