Offering to show old pitchbook to another firm

Does anyone know if there would be a legal issue doing this? I am interviewing for a small investment bank and would like to show them a pitch book i made from my previous job (at a large BB). Is this okay? Would there be an issue?

Oh, and the pitchbook has no non-public information. But it does have the name of my previous employer, which is why I am asking.

Thanks

Anything you create ie pitchbooks during working hours is property of the firm. Unless you get written permission from your previous firm it is illegal to share company property in its entirety to another entity. This makes it even worse that you're showing it to a competitor.

 

Not that big a deal at all... use some older deal where everything is public and just bring one hard copy (should be plenty lying around) and do not give it to them to keep.

What seems shady is that they care to see a book from a BB. I would think this would only be the case from an unheard of small firm such that they can make sure the work being prepared by analysts was legit.
