North America
Lazard CL’s North American platform is anchored by a substantial presence in New York, alongside teams across Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Salt Lake City, and Nashville, with dedicated coverage extending into Canada.
This market represents the largest share of our global platform, reflecting the depth of institutional capital concentrated in the region's pensions, endowments, foundations, insurers and family offices.
Our track record spans decades of primary fundraising, secondary advisory and GP capital advisory mandates for both established North American managers and international managers accessing US capital, across private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real estate.
Clients benefit from senior bankers embedded in the region’s investor base, with long-standing, direct relationships built over 20+ years of average experience across the senior team. This gives managers precise, current insight into North American allocator behavior, paired with seamless connectivity into our European and Asian coverage for global transactions.
