Houlihan Lokey Dallas Office

Is anyone familiar with Houlihan Lokey's Dallas Office? I'm wondering if any financial restructuring work takes place there or is it more geared toward corporate finance / Financial Advisory? Would be really helpful if someone has worked / works there.

Thanks for any insight,

Andy

The Dallas HL office has had a really tough time keeping junior resources (analysts and associates) in the investment banking coverage groups. None have ever stayed for more than a year as the VPs and above are very difficult personalities, to say the least (incompetent, lazy, rejects from other banks). PM me for more detail as I spent a brief bit of time there.

If you are considering a job in that office, please PM me. I can save you the headache.

My former MD was there in the early to mid 2000s and he described it as hell. Wondering if that is still the case.

 

Can't help you get an interview there, but I interviewed there last year so I at least know a little about the office. There are 3 groups there I believe, IBD, Restructuring, and FAS (Fairness opinion type stuff). I interviewed with the IBD. At the time there were 2 analysts and I think 3 senior guys. The office head was Julie Silicock (sp?). Who is apparently a Dallas rainmaker with legit Stanford connections. Seemed like a decent place to work at, mainly middle market deals but decent deal flow. Heavily recruit at SMU, UT.

Were you interviewing for an internship or full-time? How did you apply for the job? (website, contact, etc)
