Rohatyn Back at Lazard
I think I called this one a few months ago when Bruce Wasserstein died. Felix Rohatyn has rejoined Lazard as a special adviser to CEO Kenneth Jacobs. He left the firm in 1997 to become U.S. Ambassador to France under Bill Clinton and then went on to found Rohatyn Associates, an advisory firm. He's...
Lazard Financial Institutions M&A
Can anyone share their perspective on Lazard Financial Institutions M&A group? Culture, pace, deal flow, interview process, etc. Before I get flamed for not checking out other threads on Lazard, I have. None of the threads deal with this specific group.
Lazard v. Deutsche

LAZ vs EVR/GHL
Hi everyone, Have offers from Laz and one of the two other firms. Don't want to start a flame war, my main question is, I probably don't want to stay in finance forever, possibly work at a HF after banking and then go back to grad school and do something more international relations/development...
elite boutique = top groups at GS/MS/JPM?
So my impression from reading a lot of posts on this forum is that the exit opps/prestige of elite boutiques (Moelis, Lazard, BX , Perella, etc.) is more or less on par with that of top BB groups (GS TMT , FIG , MS M&A , JPM Lev Fin, etc.), and arguably better than an average group at these BBs as...

Rule By Committee? Multiple Chiefs at Lazard...
Rumor has it that it takes more than one man to fill the shoes of Bruce Wasserstein . It seems the board of Lazard is considering multiple chiefs of the investment bank . Interim CEO Steve Golub has a seat at the table, and the other names being tossed around are Ken Jacobs and Gary Parr. Of course,...

Lazard Bonus
Might want to check out Lazard that posted a $140MM loss, because they paid a record comp ratio of 71% of their $1.6B revenue as comp figures. Last year their ratio was around 55-57%, meaning that if they paid the same compensation ratio, they could have posted around a $300MM profit. Nice, at least...

Whos NEXT for Lazard
It seems like some big companies are intimately linked to their CEOs. For instance, Apple and Steve Jobs is a prime example. Ford and Alan Mulally is another good example, given how Mulally has turned the the firm around. While Lazard may not be as big as the companies i mentioned above, it is no...

Lazard vs Blackstone M&A
How would you guys compare FT positions at Lazard and Blackstone M&A in terms of reputation/prestige, PE exit ops, and quality of deal experience? The Lazard offer is generalist, so the restructuring group is a possibility. Wasserstein 's sad absence could also be something to think about...
