Lazard Los Angeles
Any thoughts on this group? I know they're big in A&D in West Coast, but how's the culture/ops/rank/comp?

Check out the Los Angeles IB thread. Super detailed post just now. Lazard LA is an awesome office.
do they do mostly M&A or what type of transactions?
pure A&D M&A
Historically been good in LA, but the MD that ran the office (since founding it for the firm) just got poached in April by JPM. Unsure the impact that will have going forward
Current LA analyst here. Solid office, but still below Moelis/CS/MS/HL RX.
ok hardo moelis man
Well he's right though
What are exits like from Lazard LA?
They've sent analysts to oaktree, ares, silverlake. Mostly WC PE though
What's "WC" private equity?
What is A&D? Pls no shit
