NEW YORK – January 8, 2014 – Carl Marks Advisors, a leading consulting and investment banking advisor to middle-market companies, today announced that it has been ranked as a top U.S. investment bank, and its leaders have been honored among the top investment bankers, by The Deal Pipeline’s 2013 Bankruptcy League Tables throughout the first three quarters of the year.

In the third quarter, the firm was ranked as a Top Investment Bank by volume in the U.S. and Christopher Wu, a partner at the firm, was ranked second among the top U.S. investment bankers. Other Carl Marks Advisors professionals cited in the rankings include partners, Douglas Booth, Marc Pfefferle, Mark Claster, and Evan Tomaskovic.
