Vault's Scoop
ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
M&A mastersCalled the “Granddaddy of M&A,” Lazard has advised on some of the most significant mergers and acquisitions in Europe and the Americas since the mid-19th century. The firm’s modern history can be traced to 2002, when dynamic dealmaker Bruce Wasserstein took over the helm of the firm, becoming chief executive. Wasserstein had a plan when he took leadership of the company—to expand the firm's business so that the Lazard name would be known throughout the world. The firm went public in 2005, and today, Lazard’s influence indeed reaches almost every corner of the globe. It has 2,300 employees and offices in 39 cities across 24 countries on five major continents, and manages more than US$81 billion in assets for its clients.
