M&A Associate Interview at Houlihan Lokey – Healthcare Sector: What to Expect?

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for an M&A Associate position in the Healthcare sector at Houlihan Lokey in Switzerland, and I’m preparing for the upcoming interview, which will include technical questions, a case study, and financial modeling.

I have a few questions and would appreciate any advice from those who have experience with the firm or sector:

  1. What kind of technical questions can I expect in the interview? Are there specific topics I should focus on?
  2. What type of case studies are typically asked at Houlihan Lokey, particularly within the Healthcare team?
  3. How do case studies in Healthcare M&A at the Associate level differ from those in other sectors, such as Industrials or Technology?
  4. Where can I find relevant case studies or preparation materials, such as videos or resources, to help me prepare for an Associate-level role?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide!
