• Internal Practice Page: Develop and maintain the PE group’s internal landing page.
• Legal Education: Coordinate with the legal education team to create content for associate and firmwide training efforts related to PE.
• Marketing & Business Development: Collaborate with the PE/M&A marketing team on the firm’s PE promotion, including blog content, pitch materials, teach-ins, and tailoring materials to key industry verticals.
