Bump
Guessing BRG was big in the creditor side?
That is correct
who the hell are skyworks
Aviation focused IB. They were on the spirit restructuring which is why they're on the league tables
how in the world did rssg close 100m+ in fees?? which deals are these from?
Yea that’s interesting. Assume a couple of breakout deals were responsible for the majority of that (like Spirit, Marelli, First Brands)
Saks 5th restructuring to exemplar luxury group as well
Assuming this is only U.S focused?
The biggest loser from this list is PJT M&A. RSSG doing $100mm from in-court debtor mandates means they did $200mm+ after including creditor mandates and OOC sponsor debtor mandates which are their bread-and-butter. $400mm run-rate annual revenue from a group with roughly a dozen partners is being contributed to the $1.3bn PJT advisory business. What the hell are the other 120-odd partners doing in M&A to only bring in $900mm?
Well, based on the octus article, the value-add of PJT's creditor side work was so small that it's essentially de minimis. That 113m is about all there is.
Where do you see that on octus report? PJT are the second most retained creditor side IB
