Harris Williams is an M&A advisory firm focused on the middle market. It is part of PNC Financial Services Group, but its investment bankers work through a specialized advisory platform rather than a broad financing-led model. That structure makes a clear interest in M&A especially important.
Much of the firm’s work is organized around industry expertise, including areas such as business services, consumer, healthcare and life sciences, industrials, technology, and transportation and logistics. Interviewers may therefore test whether you can connect valuation and deal mechanics to a client’s industry instead of reciting formulas in isolation.
