Rothschild is set to score a prized Goldman Sachs dealmaker, Financial News learned. John Brennan was one of 13 London-based individuals at Goldman to be elevated to the coveted role of partner during Goldman's latest round of promotions, and one of just four to make it to the rank within the investment bank in the country.

As well as being a senior banker within Goldman's financial institutions group, Brennan was also chief operating officer in the unit for Emea, and is joining Rothschild in a senior position, according to people familiar with the matter.
