What exactly is "strategic advisory" if not M&A?
A lot of boutique firms say this on their websites and what does this type of work actually entail?

Typically boutiques maintain close relationships with their clients and provide advice on situations that may fall out of the M&A mold. These long-term relationships lead to the firm being "retained" for whenever the client needs to execute an M&A deal.
Is this @ PJT?
More of a general question. No specific boutique.
Strategic advisory can be an umbrella label. Some firms can do consulting type diligence on the side (CVP) or shareholder defense / activism (PJT Camberview). Even private placements (EVR) could be construed as such since it sits between advisory and financing. Really up to management.
.
it’s just the non-transaction advisory stuff like shareholder, ratings, corporate finance / cap structure, ad-hoc presentations, research & analyses etc.
free non-deal shit that you don't get paid for
Wrong, you generate advisory fees for spin-offs
a spin off is a deal brother
