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

 

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?
