PWP FIG is a very small group - I believe only 2 partners and 1 MD in the US. The group's particularly strong at insurance and reinsurance as well as asset managers and market infrastructure (they're Deutsche Borse's and NYSE's go-to advisor), and the MD is focused on InsurTech. Overall, I've heard that culture there is good, the seniors especially are on the chill side and are a lot more approachable/down to earth. They don't get a lot of volume, but they still get great deal reps from large-cap M&A to a lot of growth capital and raises on the InsurTech side. Some notable txns they did I can think of:
- Blackrock / GIP (just announced a few days ago)
- Deutsche Borse / Nasdaq's European power trading business
- TD / Cowen
- Advent / Aareal
- Newfront / ABD
- CUNA / Assurant
- GTCR / Allspring
- Blue Owl / Dyal
- CDC / La Poste
- HealthEquity / WageWorks
- Brookfield / Oaktree
- Western & Southern / Gerber Life Insurance
- AIG / Validus
- Nasdaq / Deutsche Borse's International Securities Exchange
- BB&T / GGSC NA
- Nomura / American Century Investments
- Willis / Towers Watson
- NYSE Euronext / IntercontinentalExchange
Was not in FIG, but had some overlap when I was there. This comment is pretty spot on - very focussed on the tech side of things... do a LOT for PayPal. Very lean, but nice team with genuinely good people. The Partners are great!
Feel free to DM privately for more information. Know someone closely in the group
OP, could you share which EB has the awful culture and politics that you're referring to? Currently a FIG ASO at a top BB, looking to lateral to an EB, and would love to know which ones to avoid
Is this LAZ?
