Lazard 2010 - 2011 Campus Events for MBAs

Each year Lazard visits leading business schools throughout the U.S. Our hiring is done regionally, therefore opportunities and training and development vary by location.

Associates

Associates typically join Lazard after earning an MBA or other advanced degree, or after several years of experience in the field of finance.

Associates work as part of client teams which provide a wide range of services, including general financial advice; mergers; acquisitions and divestitures; special committee assignments; takeover defenses; corporate restructuring; strategic partnerships/joint ventures and advice on capital structure.

Lazard offers an unparalleled opportunity to work as part of small deal teams on major strategic assignments thus providing meaningful exposure to senior bankers and client representatives. Day-to-day activities of an Associate include: financial analysis and modeling, creating and preparing client presentations, interacting with clients, and providing guidance to Analysts, among other activities.

A strong quantitative background and good oral and written communication skills are essential. Candidates should be highly motivated top academic performers who are comfortable in an unstructured environment where initiative, creativity, maturity, and poise are highly valued. While not a requirement, previous investment banking experience is looked upon favorably.

Summer Associates

Summer Associates typically join Lazard between their first and second year of business school. We also consider those in their final summer before completion of a JD or JD/MBA degree.

Day-to-day activities of a Summer Associate are dependent on the candidate's prior experience and abilities, but are similar to that of an Associate's. In addition to focusing on client-related assignments, we encourage Summer Associates to explore the firm and become acquainted with their Lazard colleagues through both formal and informal mentoring opportunities.
