Lazard
Lazard, one of the world's preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms, operates from 42 cities across 27 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Central and South America. We are focused on two primary businesses—Financial Advisory and Asset Management—rather than on a broad range of financial services. We believe this focus has helped, and will continue to help us attract clients. The firm provides advice on mergers and acquisitions, strategic matters, restructuring and capital structure, capital raising and corporate finance, as well as asset management services to corporations, partnerships, institutions, governments, and individuals.
Founded in 1848, Lazard is one of the only firms that has maintained its independence and distinct identity over time. Lazard participated, first-hand, in the evolution from discrete local markets to a world where companies and entire industries operate on a global basis. Few other investment banks have this kind of heritage. Lazard's judgement is not unduly influenced by outside pressures and solutions for clients are based on the Firm's decades of experience coupled with a culture that demands keen intellectual insight from its professionals.
Like our clients, the people who work for Lazard enjoy a genuinely different experience. Our entrepreneurial, non-hierarchical environment is such that individuality and original thinking are highly prized. You will find that our environment cultivates and rewards intellectual rigor, decisiveness and conviction. Lazard has approximately 2,300 employees located in major financial centres around the world. By encouraging the Firm's offices to retain their regional culture and personality, Lazard provides you with the opportunity to deliver the in-depth local knowledge that our clients value so highly - on a global scale.
