Rothschild & Co., one of the oldest banks in the UK, has made another big move on Wall Street.<\/p>\n

The firm announced the opening of a Chicago office at 77 West Wacker Drive, according to a press release Thursday. It has also hired Eric Hirschfield as a managing director and head of the Chicago office.<\/p>\n

Hirschfield was formerly a managing director at Goldman Sachs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to grow our presence to the Midwest, expanding Rothschild\u2019s position as a leading independent financial advisory firm in North America,\u201d James Neissa, head of Rothschild & Co North America, said in the release.<\/p>\n

Earlier in August, the firm has hired James M. Neissa, who was joint global head of investment banking at UBS, as head of North America.<\/p>\n

Rothschild offers M&A, strategy and financing advice, and investment and wealth-management solutions to institutions, families, individuals, and governments.<\/p>\n

The firm has a rich history<\/a>. Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who lived between 1744 and 1812, created a family partnership over 200 years ago. In the early 19th century, five of his sons established banking businesses in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Naples, and Vienna.<\/p>\n

It is now one of the preeminent M&A advisory firms, ranking sixth by M&A revenue in Europe in the first half of 2o16 with $130 million in revenues, according to Dealogic.<\/p>\n

That put it ahead of Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank.<\/p>\n

It ranked 13 globally, narrowly behind Jefferies and ahead of Centerview and Moelis & Co.<\/p>\n

The firm has roughly 2,8000 employees in 40 countries around the world, according to its website.<\/p>\n
