If you’re in college, the only market research tool you provably have access to is Bloomberg Terminal. You can use the M&A screener- search MA and hit enter, put in your criteria such as deal size, industry, etc., and then output a column for financial advisor.

CapIQ and FactSet are best for this but I’m assuming you’re in college and might not have those?

 

A lot of the tools other people mention work well but are costly out of pocket. I personally have a lot of success just by searching keywords such as "bank name" + "financial advisor" and also "press release". If you just want to have a deal to talk about in interviews this way is sufficent.
