As per the financial deals database, Centerview Partners advised on $76bn worth of deals, while, Houlihan Lokey advised on a total of 52 deals.

GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Most of the advisers experienced a fall in deal value as well as volume in Q1 2023 as global deal activity remained subdued during the quarter. However, Centerview Partners emerged as an exception to this trend and registered growth in deal value despite a decline in deals volume.

“In fact, Centerview Partners registered around a four-fold jump in deal value, as all the deals advised by it were billion-dollar deals, which also included two mega deals valued more than $10bn. Involvement in these big-ticket deals helped it top the chart by value.

“Meanwhile, Houlihan Lokey was among the only three advisers who managed to advise on more than 50 deals during Q1 2023. Although it managed to top the list by volume, it faced close competition from Rothschild & Co and PwC.”
