Models and case studies

Where applicable, our courses are distinguished by extensive use of models by participants, in most cases requiring the participants to build the models themselves under supervision. As far as possible, case studies are taken from real examples, and require the participants to use public information memoranda for inputs to the case studies.

Case studies may be developed in conjunction with our clients, and may use either the clients' proprietary models and methodologies, or draw from transactions with which the client has been involved.
