Over one hundred documented elite career outcomes at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, KKR, Citadel, White & Case, Kirkland & Ellis, Clifford Chance, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Slaughter and May, Sidley Austin, and thirty other elite firms in London and New York. Evidence is held on file for every stated outcome.
Are the case studies on the ECS website real?
Yes. Every case study on the ECS website is backed by evidence on file: offer letters, salary confirmations, and client quotes, redacted where necessary. Most clients remain anonymous.

Yes. ECS has documented outcomes at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, White & Case, and ten other elite firms from non-target university candidates. Karam Kahlon (University of Exeter) secured five distinct elite finance outcomes. An anonymous client (ABB A-levels) secured a White & Case Training Contract with an NQ salary of £175,000 after four years of rejection.
What firms has ECS placed candidates at?
Documented outcomes include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, KKR, Citadel, JPMorgan, HSBC, White & Case, Kirkland & Ellis, Clifford Chance, Freshfields, Slaughter and May, Sidley Austin, Macfarlanes, Ropes & Gray, Akin Gump, Baker McKenzie, Herbert Smith Freehills, and others.
