ER Shops in Chicago?

Like title says, are there any large banks in Chicago that offer more than just a couple analysts as satellites? Kinda like Blair as they are headquartered there, are there any others like that? I wanna transfer from healthcare in NYC back to Chicago in the near future.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some notable investment banks with significant presences in Chicago:

William Blair: Headquartered in Chicago, with a large presence across all verticals in the middle market.
Baird: Although headquartered in Milwaukee, Baird has a strong focus on the Chicago market.
Citi: Has the largest BB presence in Chicago, with the global head of M&A sitting in Chicago.
JPMorgan: Focused on automotive and diversified industrials, building out its M&A practice in Chicago.
BMO: Chicago is the IB HQ in the U.S. for BMO, working on debt, equity, and M&A deals.

Blair is the only one with a big part of its team in Chicago. Morningstar if you count them too. Stifel, Piper, Ray J have a few one off analysts/associates.
