The Rainmakers Behind The Top 10 M&A Fees in 2011
I recently came across an article in the January 2012 issue of Institutional Investor that had in depth profiles of 2011's top deal fees and their driving forces. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the article, but think it's still incredibly valuable to share the list.
I think that too often a lot of the members on this site focus on broader factors when picking a bank and group, without remembering that the success and failure of that group can hinge entirely on a single person. With that in mind, I think most people who frequent WSO have a good impression of which groups are best per bank, but have little idea who the individual BSDs are. Let's see if we can try to fix that a bit. Here's a little glimpse into the individuals who actually make the headlines happen.
