There’s obviously the main EBs that everyone knows about (PWP, Lazard, Moelis, Ducera, etc.) down in the Southern California area. I was wondering if there’s been any traction with new up and coming boutique investment banks that are on the rise and with an increasing deal flow. Anyone hear anything about some new firms?

I think Raine is down in LA. Can someone comment on how they’re doing?
Doing well. Awesome office and all the seniors there are experienced. But know that they currently only take Analysts in NYC for ~2 yrs, need to be an associate or above to get to LA/SF
Thanks for the info. Are laterals common at the Aso + level?
