For tech, it’s going to be mostly middle market with Blair and Guggenheim (yes I know they’re an EB but their Chicago branch is focused on mm software and IT) leading the field. Baird is committed to building out their tech right now but they’re behind Blair for sure. M&A wise not sure there are a lot of shops that focus solely on it but Blair has an m&a group and the co-head of M&A at Citi sits in Chicago.
