RPT-DEALS-JPMorgan takes top spot in U.S. league tables, (NYSE: JPM)

Chris Ventresca, JPMorgan Chase's (JPM.N) co-head of North American M&A, still remembers the banker he worked for on his first deal as a young associate back in 1994. It's easy. The banker, Henry Harnischfeger, is still at JPMorgan and doing deals. Such stability while many rivals have been walloped by crises, JP Morgan bankers said, has helped place their firm in the lead in the rankings of deal advisers this year. "Keeping our focus on clients externally while others may have had more distractions or more volatility in terms of their people -- that's probably our greatest strength over the years," said Ventresca, 45, a Princeton electrical engineer who started out at JPMorgan in 1988 as a computer programmer and never left.
