LA IB Firm List

Rising Sophomore at looking to recruit for LA banking. Based on my research, these are the current most prominent firms:

Houlihan Lokey (Rx/M&A) J.P. Morgan (Consumer Retail) Moelis (Generalist) Rothschild (Tech M&A) Citi (Mining/Metal) Perella Weinberg (Industrials)

Does anyone happen to know if there is any other great firms I’m missing or perhaps firms on this list that actually aren’t that active anymore? Thanks!
