The Mystique of Lazard Frères

Lazard Frères & Co., one of the most secretive and influential banks in international high finance, has long been shrouded in mystery. For over a century, this elite investment bank has fueled fantasies of colossal fortunes and merciless struggles for domination in the investment banking sector. As someone who spent six years working at Lazard Frères in New York before moving on to other roles on Wall Street, I have had a unique vantage point from which to observe and chronicle the inner workings of this enigmatic institution. Lazard Frères was founded in the mid-19th century, and its history is intertwined with the Lazard family, who first entered the world of finance through marriage. The bank's involvement in significant financial events, such as the California gold rush, and its rivalry with the Rothschild bank, have contributed to its legendary status. Mergers and acquisitions are the firm's specialty, and private equity transactions are its second most important activity.
