- Corporate Finance advisers need to understand what the true value of a modern business in the chemicals space really is and how to acquire, merge, undertake joint ventures and sell.
- Advisers need to understand the pressures on demand, supply, regulation, currency, and political emphasis, as well as the day-to-day challenges in topics such as attracting and retaining talent.
