Hi all,
Which are currently considered the best teams at US Elite Boutiques in terms of culture, exit opportunities, and deal flow reputation?
Any opinions/insights regarding Lazard's EMEA and US teams would also be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Will opine here with my 2c;
- Top teams; HC, Energy and Power, and CRL - all incredibly strong in their field from MM up to much larger transactions, very strong deal flow, VERY long hours though and they rinse the juniors dry. You'll learn a lot, but it will be your life.
- Culture; Quite old school, surrounded by an array of people from various backgrounds, some people that are a little "too old" school, but overall a great place to work.
- Exit opps; As said on here numerous times, GS/JP/MS are the top 3 for all the biggest funds and that won't change, but most others UMM and certainly all MM will be on the phone if you do your analyst stint at R&Co.
Hopefully helpful.
Thanks - very useful.
I was under the impression that HC and CRL are industry leading (i.e. top ranked) teams but that strongest teams for E&P are at MS, Barclays and JPM. Has E&P at R&Co perhaps recently improved in the rankings?
Also, do you have any insights regarding the Industrials and TMT teams?
On E&P - they not only improved, but (speaking from experience) are on almost every single big P&U EMEA deal in some kind of role
Source: working at BB P&U and seeing Roths everywhere
Work at MS / JPM and I would say Roth is close to / on par with both MS/JPM on Utilities, better than MS in Energy, and is better than both in Renewables.
Healthcare for sure. Dominate the UMM space
I'd agree with the above - very strong CRL team with c. 50 bankers, which is large for a bank that size, and a huge amount of momentum. Very strong team all-round but particular momentum in alcoholic beverages and ingredients.
Does anyone have info on their Industrials & Business Services team? or TMT?
