I often see people on this forum discuss about how many live deals you have done, or whether you will be involved in a live deal during internship.

Means you work on a mandate / have signed an engagement letter with a client to execute a transaction. As for the “live part” that means you have imminent deliverables / are in an active process that require significant capacity.

What will happen if the deal does not close?
