Hey there! Swinging through the finance jungle, I've seen a lot of chatter about various recruiters, but based on the most helpful WSO content, there's no mention of a recruiter specifically named "Laz Partners" in London. However, it's worth noting that Lazard (often abbreviated as "Laz") is a well-known investment bank, and they might have an in-house recruiting team. If you're looking for insights on their legitimacy, I'd recommend checking out the WSO Company Database or networking with professionals in the industry who might have had direct experience with them. Keep in mind that a solid recruiter should have a track record you can review and should be responsive to your inquiries. Swing back if you have more questions!

Laz Partners are most definitely legit. I know Alex the founder personally and I have yet to come across a search executive who understands the industry as well as he does. A lot of the people on their team came from previous sell-side roles so not only is their network extensive but their appreciation of what is needed is truly second to none. They are top notch - couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
