Lazard and Rothschild are the best
not roths as much for exits recently tbh. for pure deal experience and name-value then yes I would agree.
.
better formatted
Tier 1a: PJT / Laz
Tier 1b: Evercore / Roths
Tier 1c: PWP/CVP/Moelis
Greenhill
Edit: I'm getting MS for reformatting someone's elses opinion so it was easier to read. This isn't my personal opinion
Roths over CVP and PWP?
any updates on how the new gugg london office is doing since poaching the greenhill folks?
PJT>
The rest are MMs
Lmao intern, pjt doesn't even break into top 3 eb's in London for m&a deal flow. I just gave them a high ranking due to their rx dominance in Europe.
1 - Lazard (combination of exits, reputation, headcount and deal flow)
2 - Rothschild (very strong in the region but a big portion of their work is MM)
3 - CVC, PJT, EVE (Top compensation and exits but their business in London is far from what they are in the US)
4 - PWP (Don't know them very well, but I have not heard good things about their culture, very German and French)
5 - Moelis (avoid, they are very week in M&A in EMEA, most of their work is just US inbound opportunities)
EB market share in London is much smaller than what it is in the US - in terms of deal exposure and buy side exits, I would take any top BB over EB (except for Lazard and maybe Rothschild)
Somewhat agree with this list, but probably would promote pjt and evr based on recent exits. Also agree with the bb notion but I can also speak in the perspective off an an2 with a lot of mentees and still somewhat involved in my targets finance society. Yes, no one is choosing an eb in ldn over ms/gs(unless you're an rx enthusiast) however for the other top American bbs I have heard laz/roths/pjt/evr being taken instead over the last 2 years.
How are CVP and Evercore anywhere near PJT, and they have the exact same (maybe even worse) problem with deal flow like Moelis
