Lazard 2009-2010 Campus Events for All Degrees

Each year Lazard visits leading universities and business schools throughout Europe. Our hiring is done regionally, therefore opportunities and training and development vary by location. Some of the places that Lazard visits for recruitment purposes include:

Analysts

Analysts in Paris are generally candidates with an economics / business school background (e.g. "Grandes Ecoles de commerce et d'ingénieurs"). An excellent academic record and/or previous relevant work experience, in addition to a genuine interest in the financial advisory sector, are essential. Analysts primarily support transaction teams by performing financial and statistical analysis, conducting research, preparing client presentations and assisting in due diligence efforts. The Paris environment provides new bankers with early exposure to clients and senior managers.

Potential bankers need to display the following qualities throughout the application and selection process:

• Analytical thought process, intellectual agility and rigor
• Energy, enthusiasm and resilience
• Outstanding teamwork abilities
• Excellent communication skills
• High academic achievement
• Excellent language skills (French and English a must)
• A strong personality
• Commercial acumen and strategic awareness
• Innovative thinking

Training and Development

As our clients expect a lot from us, we ask a lot of our teams. New junior bankers will have the opportunity to attend a one-month extensive training program which will provide them with a sound understanding of the technical aspects of their role. This initial program, attended by new colleagues from across Europe, includes carefully designed residential courses, master classes led by practicing bankers, on-the-job coaching by team colleagues and visits to our other European and New York offices.

As your career progresses, at least once a year you will discuss your training and development needs with your managers as part of the firm's performance appraisal process. As part of your ongoing development, you will attend technical and business skills programs on a regular basis, along side other European colleagues.

In addition to courses, bankers will be expected to keep up-to-date with regulatory and market developments and to take every opportunity to learn from more experienced team members on each assignment.

Internships

Lazard's Paris office offers long-term internships to students looking for a one-year break during their academic course. An internship with Lazard is an excellent way of gaining a better understanding of the nature and culture of our business. It allows students to experience the Analyst role whilst seeing colleagues operate at every level of our business.
