Clearwater Internships - 2022

The Internship Programme

Working alongside experienced colleagues, you will work on projects to advise mid market companies in a range of industries and on a variety of transactions including M&A, private equity, debt advisory and restructuring services.

The programme will include training to build your understanding of corporate finance and the deal transaction process. The internship is however, primarily focussed on giving you real work experience and exposure, covering a range of areas such as transaction work, as well as deal origination and marketing.  You will therefore gain a broad view of corporate finance that is hard to find on other programmes without being in a smaller and less well-established firm.
