The 9-week summer analyst program begins with a week of classroom training, where all of the incoming summer analysts come together to learn about the fundamentals of investment banking. There is a focus on modeling and relevant analytical techniques. Learning and development, however, is expected to extend throughout the summer, by way of apprenticeship, structured teaching sessions, and performance reports.
Summer Analysts will become integral members of the Corporate Strategy and M&A group, an exclusive team dedicated to principal investments on behalf of Lazard, complex buy-side transaction advisory, and meticulous analysis and execution of firm-wide strategic initiatives. The team plays an integral role in conducting M&A for Lazard globally, while working on other bespoke, opportunistic initiatives. Depending on the project, day-to-day responsibilities of the analyst include sourcing and executing acquisitions to expand Lazard’s business, financial analysis and modeling, comprehensive company and industry research, and frequent interaction with senior management to assist in strategic decision-making.
