I was just looking at the 2008 worlwide completed M&A deal league table...and came across these three shops: Centerview Partners, Oddo et Cie and Moelis. Man, they've done some mega deals in 2008!

  2. Moelis -Total M&A value: 83,092 -No. of deals: 10 -Avg deal size: 8,309

Just as a reference point

The problem with it, is that no matter how small an involvement, full-league table credit is guaranteed. They are nowhere insight on the imputed fees table. Personally, I'd rather get paid loads by being the sole advisor to a small client, rather than be on the fringes of meda-deals.

Just my 2c.
