Boutique investment bank Baird is looking to hire seasoned dealmakers in Europe as part of an aggressive expansion plan in the region while larger rivals have rolled out lay-offs.
The US-headquartered investment bank has doubled its European headcount to around 90 dealmakers across London and Frankfurt since 2018, and has plans to add senior bankers from rivals, many of which have restructured in recent months, its co-heads of investment banking told Financial News.
