Lazard London Groups

Does Lazard London have a separate M&A team or does it do M&A in-house in their industry teams (e.g. TMT, Industrials, Consumer etc.)? Similarly with IPOs etc.

And what are the strong and weak groups?

Thanks a lot in advance! I appreciate it.

I think some boutiques have a couple of people that might be dedicated for Code Work (uk public m&a or listing rules related) and can jump on projects across sectors given regulatory aspects.

At another boutique a buddy of mine has been pulled into other sector deals because he has specific listing rules experience.

That’s typically more senior roles though (vp+) as it’s specific experience related

No M&A group - sector coverage is also M&A execution - but there are other product groups (ECM/DCM/Rx/Venture/Secondaries)

Wouldn't touch consumer (flow and culture)

TMT and Industrials historically best deal flow, although former has lost rainmaker and latter is sweaty

Healthcare historically sweaty but supposedly improved recently

Nat Res effectively a few sub-teams with different MDs, so varies

FIG - good team and culture, probably best bang for buck

Biz serv - good culture, lumpy deal flow

Real estate - not got enough datapoints so can't comment, but UK Chair is ex-RE so it gets looked after

Sponsors - can't comment as team has changed a lot in recent years
