Over the last 40 years, FTI Consulting experts have served as the trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies and the world’s leading law and private equity firms when they are facing their greatest opportunities and challenges. Our strong performance and continued success are a direct reflection of the ambition, energy, and commitment of our talented professionals across the globe to make a positive impact for our clients and communities.

Working side by side with the world’s leading experts in your field, you’ll be surrounded by an open collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and most importantly, you.

About the Role

We are offering you a six months paid internship with our expert teams of consultants which come from a wide variety for academic backgrounds. At FTI they develop skills in economics and finance as well as drawing on their problem solving and analytical skills to answer a range of questions for high-profile clients. You will work actively with them on client projects and learn what it takes to establish complex financial evaluations and consult our customers.  

We specialise in two main areas: 

1. providing valuation advice about anything from large public companies to patents and trademarks. We do all types of work, but in particular we are the leading firm in advising on valuation issues before courts and tribunals all around the world; and
2. economic regulatory advice, where we apply economic theory and in-depth experience to offer advice to both regulators and regulated companies on a wide range of issues.

Examples of the questions our clients ask us

• What impact did Uber have on the earnings of Black Cab drivers in London?
• What is a fair way to distribute money to artists from steaming service royalties?
• How much extra cost did the NHS incur because a generic drug was kept off the UK market by an invalid patent?

What You Will Do

Our Inters play a key role in our project teams by performing industry research and developing the knowledge and experience to perform detailed economic analysis and financial modelling to solve interesting questions.

• Reviewing the regulatory landscape and drawing parallels with our client’s industry
• Summarising your work in emails or memos, clearly presenting your results and drawing out the implications
• Taking responsibility for the quality of the final product

Through mentoring, designed trainings and on the job tasks you will gain a deeper understanding of the world of Economic and Financial consulting.
