Rothschild vs Houlihan Lokey vs Deutsche Bank
Hi,
Looking for input on these options, one of which I have an offer, the others which I believe I have an excellent chance. Rothschild and Houlihan would be for their restructuring groups. DB is not group specific. I am interested in both M&A and restructuring, and am currently leaning towards exiting to a distressed debt shop, but obviously that might change.
Thanks for the advice.
HLHZ for RXing
at neither bank will you get generalist. so you need to pick M&A or RXing. oh, and RXing isn't an absolute pre-requisite for distressed funds.
I'd say if you are in Europe, go for Rothschild
I would take Houlihan or Rothschild over DB for sure; definitely Rothschild if you're in Europe/interested in exit opps there.
Remember that HL's restructuring practice, while obviously quite strong, is focused on creditor-side representation. To over-generalize, creditor-side places into distressed debt hedge funds, and debtor-side places into private equity.
I am in the US, so Europe rep isn't that important to me. However, while I have heard good things about Rothschild's European M&A practice, but not so for restructuring.
Also, for clarification, this is for the restructuring groups at Rothschild and HL. I'm aware they are both much stronger in restructuring than M&A in the U.S.
Houlihan restructuring
bump - any additional thoughts on Houlihan vs. Rothschild for experience, exit ops? Which group is more highly regarded?
Houlihan for sure. HLHZ is an elite boutique. Rothschild is a top middle market
I've always heard of it as the other way around. HLHZ is good in restructuring, but Rothschild is great as well and probably has a stronger debtor-side practice (along with bx, laz, evr)
HL = best creditor-side RX on the street; middle-market M&A Rothschild = strong debtor-side restructuring, works on many M&A megadeals (thus, not middle market)
This seems pretty legit.
Which offices for each? PM me.
