PJT Partners Placement Agent

Since its founding in 2015, PJT Partners has deliberately cultivated a culture designed to differentiate it from traditional investment banks.

The firm's founding principle—"we didn't start a new firm just to act like an old firm"—reflects a commitment to reimagining how strategic advisory services are delivered.

The firm emphasizes an honest, collaborative culture where diverse perspectives and backgrounds come together to challenge assumptions and exchange new ideas.

PJT Partners believes that bringing people with different viewpoints to work together creates better solutions for clients.

This collaborative approach extends across the firm's global offices, with teams working together seamlessly on cross-border and multi-disciplinary engagements.

PJT's culture is built around the philosophy that "our reputation is defined by your results"—meaning the firm measures its success by client outcomes rather than transaction volume.

This client-centric approach drives decision-making throughout the organization and reinforces the firm's commitment to independent, unconflicted advice.

The firm describes its service model as combining entrepreneurial spirit and fresh thinking with "old-world, high-touch client service," blending innovation with deep relationship management.

For professionals at all levels, PJT Partners emphasizes development opportunities and the importance of every team member.

The firm's careers page highlights that "success depends on all of us at PJT" and promotes an environment where everyone is important and everyone succeeds together.

PJT Partners Inc. is a premier global advisory-focused investment bank built on a foundation of independent advice and collaborative expertise.

Founded in 2015 with a clear vision to be different from traditional firms, PJT Partners was built from the ground up to serve clients through creativity, critical thinking, and a fresh approach to solving complex financial challenges.

The firm operates through three core business lines: Strategic Advisory, Restructuring & Special Situations, and PJT Park Hill (their alternative asset advisory and placement agent division).

With nearly 1,000 professionals spanning offices across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, PJT Partners delivers highly experienced, collaborative teams that provide independent strategic advice paired with what they describe as "old-world, high-touch client service."

PJT Partners differentiates itself through a culture centered on client results rather than traditional advisory formulas.

The firm's philosophy—"our reputation is defined by your results"—drives an approach that emphasizes differentiated expertise, original thinking, and bespoke solutions tailored to capitalize on today's opportunities.

As one of the leading placement agents in the alternative assets industry through its PJT Park Hill division, the firm has established itself as a trusted advisor to institutional investors and alternative asset managers globally.
