CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (July 2008) - The Deal magazine recently published its “Bankruptcy Scoreboard 2008” (July 21, 2008 issue). Navigant Capital Advisors (NCA) was ranked as #5 among Top Investment Banks (based upon the number of active bankruptcy related assignments). In addition, Ed Casas, Managing Director and Head of NCA Investment Banking and Restructuring, and Neil Luria, Managing Director, were named as the top three and four investment bankers in the distressed market sector.
To develop the rankings, The Deal validates and gathers key bankruptcy information from law firms, restructuring firms, lenders, and other organizations into a proprietary database. The Deal’s "Bankruptcy League Tables" are then developed based on all debtor, creditor and other assignments within active bankruptcy cases.
