Lazard groups ranked

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Lazard's groups in New York are generally well-regarded, but specific rankings of the best groups are not explicitly detailed in the context provided. However, here are some insights:

1. Deal Flow: Lazard is known for strong deal flow, particularly in advisory and M&A. However, the firm is not as active on live deals 24/7 compared to other elite boutiques, as they focus heavily on client service projects and board materials alongside active deals.

2. Exits: Lazard offers strong exit opportunities, comparable to other elite boutiques. Analysts often transition to top private equity firms, hedge funds, or corporate development roles.

3. Prestige: Lazard is considered one of the top-tier elite boutiques, though it may not hold the same dominance it had in the mid-2000s. It remains highly respected in the industry.

Unfortunately, the context does not provide a specific ranking of Lazard NY groups by deal flow, exits, or prestige. If you need more detailed group-specific rankings, you might need to explore additional resources or threads on WSO.
