Leerlink? I'm not going to work there but always heard that they were very good

 

Frankly, the HC advisory landscape is very volatile and has seen plenty of changes over the years.

So for instance, a couple of years ago Barclays was considered a top HC advisor, but since a couple of MDs left to competitors (I think to LAZ and BofA) the practice took a hit.

Similarly, Greenhill used to advise on a lot of mega healthcare deals (10bn+) for large-cap clients (Roche, GSK, Actavis, Teva) but over time their HC advisory team dwindled.

Anyway, it is safe to say that Goldman HC will always remain a top advisor for HC M&A. Centerview is very active too, mainly on biotech deals.

 

That's the issue though with EBs, as exemplified by GHL - it's enough that a couple of MDs leave and your entire practice is gone. That is what truly differentiates BBs (eg GS) from EBs - Clients go to GS for GS, and not for MD X, Y, or Z. On the other hand, clients go to EB X because of MD Y. Once the MD is gone, the client goes with the MD.

 

It’s more or less in-line with the tier lists for general rankings you’ll find countless of on this forum but some underrated players would be Cain Bros and SVB/Leerink, obviously wouldn’t recommend these over EB/BB if your end goal is PE, but they’re still great places to start your career or even build a long-term career at

 

For those saying Leerink, yes you are right. It's a good bank for healthcare IB. HOWEVER, for the author as well as others that want to do HC IB do not go to Leerink. There was a post sometime within the last 6 months that blew up of people shitting on Leerink and how they destroy analysts and just isn't a good place to work.
