In recent years, the Finn has billed dozens of clients large amounts of money for diversification work. However, as yet no one in the London Office can claim the magnum of champagne available to the first consultant who can demonstrate an acquisition or merger by a client that would not have happened without our efforts.

This memorandum outlines the major issues and hypotheses that should be resolved and tested during the project.
