I often hear that UBS and CS are by far and away the top IBs in Los Angeles.
Does anybody dispute this, or is it pretty much generally accepted? For those in the know, I'm also interested in hearing where GS and MS fall on the LA ladder.
I understand that reputation is largely group-specific, I'm just looking for a rough firm-level approximation.
Opinions appreciated.
TIA.

UBS/CS are the best in LA, no questions about that.
GS/MS aren't that strong in LA, try for bay area if you want one of those shops
How is Lazard in LA. Is the prestige similar to NY office?
I can't answer your question, but I have to say, your name is so absurd. Like you're working against skynet or some shit.
No.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm more committed to LA than I am any IB in particular. Assuming I'm staying in LA, what are the top BBs behind CS and UBS?
TIA.
is great if you're interested in middle-market....they work on lot of deals in that space
no real good bb's outside of CS and UBS in LA. i agree that HLHZ mite be an option since they do a lot of deals in the middle market. other than that, ML, GS, etc. just arent that strong and beyond that there are smaller boutiques like montgomery etc.
Is this still the case?
After the changes in the market...
I'm also interested about the effect the past few months have had on UBS/CS LA.
