Lazard is a leading independent financial advisory and asset management firm founded in 1848, advising on mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, capital markets, and sovereign/geopolitical matters while managing approximately $226 billion in assets for corporations, governments, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals worldwide. Operating across two core segments — Financial Advisory and Asset Management — the firm is known for its conflict-free advisory model, as it acts solely as an advisor rather than a lender or proprietary trader.
