The Debt Capital Markets Advisory Group works in partnership with PJT Partners’ Strategic Advisory, Park Hill, Restructuring and Camberview teams.

• Associates receive broad-based exposure to the full spectrum of complex issues that arise in capital markets transactions, including capital raising through both the public and private markets, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, credit negotiations, exchange offers, and Chapter 11 reorganizations
