How strong are Baird's offices and what groups are in which. How do the offices rank between Milwaukee, DC, Chicago, Tampa, and Houston. I know their DC RE and A&D isn't great. Milwaukee is strong. Where does Tampa rank? They have a solid distribution group with solid deal flow. Houston energy isn't as strong. Can someone confirm?

DC doesn’t have A&D, it is actually government services and they are very strong. They stole Houlihan's team. The real estate team is weak.
Milwaukee and Chicago are the two main offices, but I wouldn’t think about the firm in terms of offices, but rather groups. Industrials is by far the strongest group and it is in both main offices and has a strong distribution team in Tampa. Tech and Services would be the second best and is also in both main offices (as well as DC which again is a very strong team). Consumer and Healthcare (mostly Chicago only) and Energy (Houston) are not as strong as the other two groups.
I didn’t even know Baird had an energy team - how big is that office?
Small, they just started it within the last couple of years. I believe it is only oilfield services, but my info may be dated at this point.
