Looking for an M&A job? Jefferies could put you to good use. :
Jefferies has apparently put its new recruits to good use. Richard Handler’s advisory house, which added a whopping 121 people in 2017, made a massive leap up the U.S. M&A league tables during the first quarter of 2018, displacing the likes of Barclays, Evercore and Citi, among others. Jefferies finished fourth in U.S. advisory M&A revenue during the first three months of the year, trailing only the traditional big three: J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.
