Does Lazard LA still do interactive media

I know there was a post that kinda touched on this but I wanted to clarify. With the former activision guy leaving, is the office just A and D now getting rid of media all together?

Lazard LA still maintains a focus on Interactive Media alongside Aerospace & Defense. The Interactive Media group, particularly strong in deals involving video games, remains active. For instance, they were involved in the Bungie/Sony deal. Despite changes in personnel, such as the departure of the former office head who was more involved in interactive tech/media, the office continues to handle significant transactions in this sector. The presence of a dedicated Managing Director focusing on video games indicates ongoing commitment to this industry vertical.
