JEF or GUG? RX?

Hi, which one would you take? JEF or GUG? Interested specifically in RX. Considering all factors (exit opps, culture, etc.). Interested in firm-wide culture as well since RX groups are small and niche.

I would take Gugg.Jeff does A LOT of UCC work and Jeff culture seems toxic af in general.

Haven't sat across from Gugg much but Gugg seems to have a better culture and anecdotally exits. I think I see them doing a lot of Secured Creditor stuff

Just choose whatever culture u align w/ tbh

 

Both rank similar on league tables for what’s that worth (theDeal, also Reorg’s 2022 table)

Jeff is best in space for UCC, but people prefer fulcrum / debtor mandates because they often have the most negotiation power. Jeff does debtor work but mostly it’s out of court processes and aren’t very high profile.

Gugg gets alot of creditor mandates, and every few months gets a billion + dollar deal. Better firm culture from what I hear. No where close to the Tier 1 shops, but probably the next best thing.

Would say Guggenheim is slightly over jefferies, with consideration from exits and culture as well.

Always here to help!
