Associate, Restructuring

Company Background 

Cascadia is one of the largest independent advisory only investment banks in the country. With this scale and a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives, we work together as a team in each deal for the common success of our client stakeholders. We pick our clients as much as our clients pick us. This ensures that we are working with leading companies which offer us collectively the ability to maximize results in an efficient process, in any market environment. Simplistically, growth sells, and we know how to sell it. We combine the success of your business with the unique attributes of our investment banking process. 

We are changing the investment banking paradigm. Leveraging deep sub-vertical industry knowledge, a unique process orientation that marries creative storytelling, modularity and traditional process rigor, and a long-term partnership approach, we aim to deliver optimal value for our clients. We are not rooted in traditional methods and reliant on a one-size-fits-all methodology. Rather, we create a custom deal strategy designed to leverage your attributes and overcome impediments that, when effectively deployed, drives outcomes outside the norm on valuation, terms and other qualitative aspects of your transaction.
