http://www.hl.com/us/frgrankings.aspx March 2010.... from HLHZ website. Source: The Deal Pipeline, March 2010. Based on 2009 engagements in which an institution served as a financial advisor to a MAJOR party-in-interest. They look a little different?

Rank Advisor No. of Cases 1 Houlihan Lokey 43 2 Chanin Capital Partners/Duff & Phelps 23 3* Mesirow Financial Holdings Inc. 22 3* Moelis & Co. LLC 22 4 Jefferies & Co. 21 5 Lazard 18 6 Miller Buckfire & Co. LLC 10 7* Blackstone Group LP 8 7* Rothschild 8 7* SSG Capital Advisors LLC 8 8* Imperial Capital LLC 7 8* Trenwith Group LLC 7 9 Gordian Group LLC 6 10* General Capital Partners LLC 5 10* Goldman, Sachs & Co. 5

I think places like Chanin and Mesirow do many creditor-side representations in the MM, which gives them a boost in these tables. No surprises though.

 

I took the rankings directly from The Deal. Considering that your ranking came directly from the HLHZ site and the fact that HLHZ finished first, it's a little biased because they tried to present a large gap between #1 and #2 by defining the league table a little differently, I bet.

I think all the guys from HLHZ down to Miller Buckfire have significant creditor assignments and hence large number of cases.

Also for companies like Goldman Sachs, I think these are primarily from London right, since BBs can't compete in the restructuring arena in the US.

 

Est consequatur ad debitis maiores. Sapiente reprehenderit et minus in illum. Officia atque totam autem esse vero ut. Sit unde eligendi adipisci tempore.
