PJT Partners' Houston office was established around 2021, making it a relatively new entrant in the region. While there have been discussions about its growth, specific details about their deal flow in Houston remain limited. Historically, PJT has been strong in M&A and restructuring, but their presence in Houston, particularly in energy-focused deals, is still developing. Some users have expressed skepticism about their O&G (Oil & Gas) practice being based in Manhattan rather than Houston, which might impact their visibility in the local market.

If you're looking for a more established energy-focused team, other firms with a longer-standing presence in Houston might currently have stronger deal flow.
