INTRODUCING CAS CARES – PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE COVID-19 CRISIS WITH AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Interning at CAS was a phenomenal experience.  I was given the opportunity to work in a lean deal team, which exposed me to various aspects of M&A transactions from industry research and analysis to client proposals and valuation.  Through the team’s excellent mentorship and guidance, I was able to develop a stronger understanding of investment banking and to refine my leadership and professional skills in a collaborative work environment.  For anyone looking to break into the business, CAS is a great place to start.

I interned in CAS’ Chevy Chase office and accepted an invitation to join the firm full time as an Analyst in March2020.  I had the opportunity to work directly with Managing Partner Mark Russell, providing support on M&A, strategic consulting, valuation, compliance and regulatory business practices.

While attending Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, I interned in CAS’ Philadelphia office.  I had the opportunity to work directly with Managing Partner Michael Lamm, providing transaction and administrative assistance at every phase of the M&A process.  I accepted an offer to join CAS as a Junior Analyst in July 2017. Today I am an Associate.

While attending Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, I interned in CAS’ Philadelphia office. I had the opportunity to work directly with Managing Partner Michael Lamm, who challenged me to contribute to all aspects of CAS’ advisory business. This included equity valuation, due diligence, strategic advisory and compliance. I eventually joined CAS full time as a Junior Analyst in February 2016. Today I am a Senior Associate.

Interning at CAS was an incredible experience. As a career switcher in my first year pursuing my MBA at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, I didn’t have a strong business background. However, the team at CAS welcomed me wholeheartedly, invested considerable time and energy teaching me about M&A and the BPO industry, and allowed me to work on high-level, substantive projects under the supervision of firm leadership. The skills I developed at CAS will not only allow me to apply the new skills I developed in my MBA program, but will also serve me well in my professional development.

Getting to work under Mark and Michael this Summer at CAS was a fantastic experience that I’m very grateful to have had. At CAS you will be given real work and be made to feel like a true member of the team. You will learn valuable career skills, as well as meet some great hard-working people. I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to intern at CAS to take it and get your foot in the professional door.

My internship at CAS was both intellectually challenging and professionally rewarding. As an undergraduate student hungry to acquire investment banking experience, I was given the opportunity to work on a lean deal team and immediately gain end-to-end exposure to both sell-side and buy-side M&A transactions. Throughout my time with the firm, I enjoyed excellent mentorship from colleagues, while also receiving the bandwidth to create unique solutions to complex problems. The experience I gained here at CAS will serve as an invaluable foundation for my future career in the investment banking industry.

The opportunity to be an intern at CAS was a truly rewarding experience. From day one I became an integral part of the deal team and had the privilege to work on a wide variety of complex transactions. This firsthand experience allowed me to test, develop and refine my technical and professional skills, which are paramount for succeeding in the banking industry. Along with this, the guidance and mentorship from the firm’s leadership is unprecedented and I am truly grateful for the experience. For anyone looking to make an impact and pursue a career in investment banking, CAS is the place for you.
