PJT Company Profile

PJT Partners is a global advisory-focused investment bank. Our team of senior professionals delivers a wide array of strategic advisory, restructuring and special situations and fund placement and secondary advisory services to corporations, financial sponsors, institutional investors and governments around the world. We offer a balanced portfolio of advisory services designed to help our clients realize major corporate milestones. We also provide, through Park Hill Group, fund placement and secondary advisory services for alternative investment managers, including private equity funds, real estate funds and hedge funds. PJT Partners was created in October 2015 through Blackstone’s spin-off of its advisory businesses immediately following their combination with PJT Capital LP, a financial advisory firm founded by Paul J. Taubman in 2013. The new company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “PJT” on October 1, 2015.

We have world-class franchises in each of the areas in which we compete. Our strategic advisory line of business, established in 1985 with the added complement of PJT Partners’ team of bankers, offers a broad range of financial advisory and transaction execution capability, including mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”), joint ventures, minority investments, asset swaps, divestitures, takeover defenses, corporate finance advisory, private placements and distressed sales. Our restructuring and special situations line of business, established in 1991, is one of the world’s leading advisors in restructurings and recapitalizations, both in and out of court, around the globe. With extensive expertise in highly complex capital structure challenges, our Restructuring and Special Situations Group’s services include advising companies, creditors and financial sponsors on recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchange offers, debt repurchases, capital raises and distressed mergers and acquisitions. Park Hill Group, our fund placement and secondary advisory line of business, is a world-leading fund placement agent and has provided fund placement and secondary advisory services for a diverse range of investment strategies since its inception in 2005. Moreover, Park Hill Group is the only group among its peers with top-tier dedicated private equity, hedge fund, real estate and secondary advisory groups.

We believe the success of our business is based on a highly-experienced team and a relentless focus on our core principles: prioritizing our client’s interests, providing superior client service, developing our long-term relationships and leading with our human and intellectual capital.
