Lazard's approach
to financial advisory services centers around original ideas, sound
judgment and precise execution. The Firm's financial advisory professionals
always begin by listening, asking strategic questions and thoroughly
exploring alternatives before proceeding to transaction recommendations.
Lazard's professionals are distinguished by their ability to innovate
and find the right solutions even if the answers lie outside of
traditional financial alternatives.
Lazard prides itself on a long tradition of generalist financial
advisory and board room counsel in which individual bankers develop
expertise in a diverse range of financial solutions, not just a
single product, service or approach. The Firm consistently ranks
in the top tier of financial advisors globally. Moreover, Lazard
is not oriented toward individual transactions, but rather concentrates
on building and sustaining long-term relationships with our clients.
This practice provides the Firm with access to senior management
of major corporations around the world.
The Financial Advisory group at Lazard world-wide currently consists
of approximately 550 professionals and includes bankers who provide
advisory services to clients in a broad range of industries as well
as those who focus specifically on the financial services, life
sciences, real estate, media, telecommunications and technology,
power and energy industries, as well as restructuring.

- General financial and strategic advice
- Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures
