JPM is huge in Chicago for SLF and M&A groups- from those that I have spoken with inside the bank, there is a strong Midwest MM presence out of Chicago with teams doing the actual work (not just pitching for NYC).
William Blair is Chicago-based and maintains a strong reputation as a top MM advisory shop. They often compete for deals with BMO Capital Markets (also very strong presence in Chicago). With its stronger debt underwriting capabilities, I have heard BMO taking over deals recently (like small sell side transactions).
Lazard is good in Chicago and places into MM PE NYC.
Don't know much about the presence of Citi, MS, GS, CS in the Midwest as those are very much NYC "big boy" banks.
I recommend parousing the past threads on this subject as not much has changed in the Chicago scene.
The list is old Hariris Nesbitt Corp. is actually BMO Capital Markets now
