Restructuring is done through EBs primarily in NY but not all firms offer "restructuring-only" internships. Some examples include Lazard, CVP, PWP and Moelis which do an M&A/RX generalist internship program and make you select a group later on (although I heard that Moelis might be offering an RX-specific internship moving forward). Other top groups that do restructuring only include (in no order): HL, PJT, Evercore, Greenhill, Guggenheim, Ducera.

 

Hopefully someone who's been working in rx for a while can answer this but I heard that Evercore used to hire ~5 SAs a few years ago and now its around 8-9 so I suppose that's a good sign. But honestly as a rising sophomore, that shouldn't really be a serious concern right now. Groups like HL RX, CVP and PJT RSSG may not have grown their headcount as fast as Evercore (don't know if this is the case, I'm just guessing) but they're all still top banking groups. 

 

Ducera is technically generalist internship and analyst and the work they do varies a lot with the market. 2021 they were doing a lot of M&A, which will shift back towards rx once there is more activity. But although they are generalist and doing a lot of m&a, I have heard it is a very rx intensive interview process.

 

HL, Ducera, PJT, and a few others will heavily shift to mostly rx as this next cycle continues to heat up.  These groups have already gotten much busier over the past few weeks. 

A lot of the of the other firms have M&A groups that will struggle mightily during this cycle and really drag down full-firm margin.
