Greenhill deal flow

Hey there,

Good question! Greenhill used to be one of the top names in the boutique M&A space, but things have definitely changed in recent years. Their deal flow has slowed down quite a bit, especially compared to the likes of Evercore, Centerview, or PJT. A lot of that has to do with the fact that they haven’t been as aggressive in expanding or hiring top talent, while other boutiques have been outpacing them.

Also, they got acquired by Mizuho, which was a big shift. It’s still a respected name, but some folks see it as more of a mid-tier boutique these days rather than an elite one. That being said, deal flow can be cyclical, and some teams (like restructuring) might still have decent activity depending on the market.

If you're considering them for recruiting, I’d dig into the specific team/location you're targeting. Some offices might be busier than others. And as always, networking with recent analysts or associates will give you the best pulse on what’s happening right now.

Hope that helps!
