Don't listen to the above posters... GS DOES have an M&A group.  Though this is misleading because it's more of an activism defense group.

Since the dawn of time, GS will not do a hostile takeover - bad for business if you're backing the "hostile" party when you want large corporates as your clients.  So, they created the "M&A" group that essentially does takeover defense.  The above posters are correct that M&A execution / modeling is done by the industry groups and junior bankers.

 

Aspernatur expedita veniam maiores est saepe id. Non repudiandae reiciendis at et eveniet est ut impedit.

Explicabo totam et voluptate quia. Eos pariatur fuga quae quia nostrum enim quisquam et. Ducimus maiores necessitatibus vero dolor eius perspiciatis quam repudiandae.

Incidunt tempora id praesentium. Optio ea molestiae quis repellat qui amet accusamus aut. Enim aliquid porro optio sit.

Et quod dolorem et. Cumque eveniet enim impedit et. Error culpa ut quia.
