Additional Posts in Transaction Services, M&A, Deal Advisory

What’s your opinion: Is it realistic to expect M&A tax work to be confined to working hours and setting boundaries with managers?

Hey everyone. I’ve got an interview coming up for Lead advisory (M&A). I really want the job. They’ve given me a case study with a company (no data just a website) and asked me to prepare a two page report on the company for a partner who is going to help a PE firm that owns the company with the sell side mandate. They’ve said to include industry, strategy, operations, financials and other relevant info. Any tips on what I should include in each heading and how I can stand out?
