DCM in LA

While I assume most DCM groups would be located in NY or the midwest, Is there significant DCM activity in LA? If so, which BB's/boutiques are strong in LA? Will be interning in DCM this summer, but looking to be in LA for a fall/winter internship and hopefully FT.

Not aware of a lot of DCM in LA, but there are some very good financial sponsors groups there (which as you probably know overlaps a lot with DCM). Moelis HQ'd there too, and they have a good cap structure advisory business, though I'm not sure the distribution of that team in NY vs. LA.
