Houlihan Lokey London Perception

Hi all,

Can someone comment on HL's perception in London. I have just interned at another EB (waiting for outcome) but found myself drawn to rx. Given HL offers analyst roles purely in rx and it was top ranked globally in the area I've become quite interested in the firm.

Of course a global rank does not translate into an EMEA rank as from this forum I can tell it is superb in the US and I am also quite interested in the exit ops from HL in London in particular for distressed pe & credit funds.

Should specify this is for an analyst role.

Thanks for the help!
