Private credit is one of alternative finance’s fastest-growing segments, and Lazard CL is positioned across its full breadth of strategies.

As institutional allocators continue to build out or professionalize private credit platforms, they face structuring decisions unfamiliar from traditional private equity: fund sizing, rated feeders, CLO structures, warehouse facilities and blind-pool positioning all require specialist expertise.

Lazard CL’s track record includes mandates spanning direct lending (senior, unitranche, mid-market and syndication-oriented), asset-based and structured credit, distressed and special situations, real estate and infrastructure debt, and regulatory capital / significant risk transfer transactions. We actively support managers ranging from established direct lenders to newer entrants building differentiated credit platforms.
