Our Corporate Finance practice focuses on the mid-market where the vast majority of transactions take place.

Few investment banks maintain the breadth of relationships and capital markets intelligence that we do.

As our business continues to expand and evolve around the world, having a workforce that can offer different insights and experiences has never been more important for Houlihan Lokey.

Diversity and inclusion are vital to our approach and the ongoing success of our business. Our primary concern is not where our people went to school or university, or even which subject they studied. We are more interested in whether they have the talent, passion, and enthusiasm needed to drive our business forward over the years to come.
