Analyst - Major Projects Advisory

Company Description

Since 2002, KordaMentha has been entrusted with some of the region’s most complex and sensitive commercial situations. We are an advisory and investment firm at heart, helping corporations, financiers, lawyers, private investors and government clients to grow, protect and recover value. 

But we are so much more than that.

Fiercely independent, strategically local, and with a bias for action to get things done, we focus on doing what is right by our clients, our people, and the wider community. Our diverse experience – from finance and real estate to law enforcement and the c-suite – enables us to make a difference for our clients across our service offerings in financial crime, forensic, performance improvement, real estate and restructuring.

We provide bold and impactful solutions delivering growth, certainty, and value. There is strength in difference. And we are different.
