Houlihan FSG hands down. They are the best in restructuring on the creditor side.
DB LA only has 14 bankers and focuses purely on FIG. From what I know, the office hasn't been around too long.
Jefferies used to be headquartered in LA, but now is based out in NY. But, their Lev Fin heads sit out in LA. Overall however, they are really a middle market firm in debt, equity, and M&A. One positive note about Jefferies is that they have a reputation of hiring bankers and keeping them. Several VP's and MD's joined as analysts or associates and have been promoted.
I don't know too much about Barclays, but from my knowledge they have a limited practice in the US right now. In Europe, they're excellent, but they just don't have a strong presence here right now.
I'm guessing that this is for a summer analyst role. Go to HLHZ and get a FT offer. If you don't like the firm or restructuring in general, you can always find something better in the fall.
For example, a couple of analysts who summered at HLHZ in Corp Fin accepted FT offers at UBS LA last fall. And keep in mind that FSG is a stronger group at HLHZ, compared to Corp Fin.
frg="fsg" is strong than the generalist corp fin program. some of the product groups, (i.e. ADG are just as strong).
My bad, I meant FRG instead of FSG. Thanks for catching that error opticalcharge.
No one went HLHZ Corp Fin to UBS LA Generalist- only one guy got UBS LA Tech which is very very different than UBS LA Generalist from an exit opp / work exp point of view. People routinely took GS LA over UBS LA Tech offers.
HLHZ la no discussion. Total sweatshop, though
