PJT Camberview Description:
PJT Camberview is a leading provider of investor-led advice to public companies on engagement and shareholder relations, activism and contested situations, sustainability and complex corporate governance matters.

Program Description:
Upon completion of training, PJT Camberview Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of client work, business development, and conduct research while being staffed on a number of assignments at once.
