Houlihan Lokey Consumer, Food & Retail (CFR)

I have an upcoming interview with Houlihan Lokey's consumer group (consumer, food, retail, etc.). I'm trying to understand how the industry groups coordinate with the M&A team, since it looks like most of their deals are M&A anyway. Can anybody shed light?

Any other insights into the group and the firm? Thanks!

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.
 

Industry groups are industry specific and work on all types of engagements including M&A, financing, fairness opinions and restructurings. They are predominantly M&A focused though.
