Why is sovereign advisory only in Paris?

Just curious. Makes some sense for Rothschild considering they’re a french bank. Wondering about Lazard to though. Maybe because it’s in a central location for both the EU + French speaking developing countries?

It is because sovereign debt restructuring is negotiated at the Paris Club a group of officials from major creditor countries whose role is to find co-ordinated and sustainable solutions to the payment difficulties experienced by debtor countries. As debtor countries undertake reforms to stabilize and restore their macroeconomic and financial situation, Paris Club creditors provide an appropriate debt treatment. As stated by its name, the Paris Club is located in Paris.
