ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
The 40-year-old dealmaker
Founded in 1972, the 40-year-old investment bank Houlihan Lokey employs more than 850 people worldwide as of July 2012. Although it’s best known as a middle-market advisor and restructuring house, Houlihan Lokey also serves large public corporations and small private companies. Its financial restructuring division has risen to prominence in recent years—Houlihan Lokey’s teams have worked on some of the world’s biggest bankruptcy proceedings, including those of CIT Group, Lehman Brothers, WorldCom, General Motors, Enron, and Conseco. For 2011, the firm ranked No. 1 in announced U.S. M&A deal volume for deals under $1 billion, and for the past 10 years, the firm has ranked as the No. 1 provider of fairness opinions worldwide. In addition, in 2010 and 2011, its restructuring business ranked as both the top global restructuring advisor and the top U.S. restructuring advisor. Led by co-CEOs Scott Beiser and Jeffrey Werbalowsky, the privately-held Houlihan Lokey operates through four main service lines: mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, financial restructuring, and financial advisory services. The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles, and has additional U.S. offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C. Its overseas offices are located London, Paris, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Beijing.
