Interesting list, but feels a bit oversimplified. Rankings really depend on the specific group, office, and product focus rather than the firm name alone. For example, Big 4 TAS groups can place very well into MM IB, and Stout has strong niches in valuation and disputes. Would be helpful to clarify whether this ranking is based on exits, deal flow, comp, or overall experience.
Congrats on stout
