NEW YORK, June 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The following statement is being issued by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP:
To: All persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of PJT Partners Inc.
(“PJT”) (NYSE:PJT) between November 12, 2015 and March 28,
2016. You are hereby notified that a securities class action lawsuit has been commenced in the
USDC for the Southern District of New York. To get more information go to:

cost or obligation to you.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to
disclose that: (1) PJT’s compliance and fraud-prevention controls were inadequate; (2) as a consequence of PJT’s inadequate
controls, Andrew W. W. Caspersen, a managing partner at the Company’s private-equity arm, Park Hill Group, perpetrated a criminal
scheme to defraud investors.
On March 28, 2016, news reports revealed that Caspersen was arrested and charged with defrauding investors of more than $95
million. A criminal complaint was filed in federal court, in addition to a complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. In a press release, PJT Partners announced Caspersen had been terminated after they were “stunned and outraged to learn
of the fraudulent circumvention and violation” of the Company’s ethical and compliance standards.
If you suffered a loss in PJT Partners you have until June 14, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any
recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
