2028 Summer Analyst - New York Capital Solutions

Lazard is one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms. Our people and culture make the difference.

Our entrepreneurial culture, flat structure and embrace of individual differences allow creative ideas, original concepts, and unique perspectives to drive our business forward — and for careers to take flight.

Strategic Capital Solutions

The individual groups that make up Lazard’s global Strategic Capital Solutions advise companies, financial sponsors, and asset managers on complex capital-raising, debt, and structured equity needs, acting as a key bridge between traditional public company work and the private capital markets by leveraging Lazard's deep industry expertise and global network both to advise on and execute tailored financing solutions. The groups in Strategic Capital Solutions are Capital Solutions, Corporate Financial Advisory, Financial Sponsors, Growth and Venture Banking, and Sovereign Wealth and Pension Coverage. Lazard’s objective is to create market-agnostic solutions for our clients: one “team” across over a half dozen different groups advising all of Lazard’s clients on the best market and optimal product for their situation and, when appropriate, executing on the company’s behalf.

Capital Solutions 

The Capital Solutions team is part of the Strategic Capital Solutions platform supporting Lazard’s corporate and sponsor clients in executing capital raising efforts including private market debt syndication and public market debt financing execution in the context of M&A, refinancings, liability management, and new capital raises. Capital Solutions works with both public and private companies to evaluate capital alternatives, run targeted or broad private financing processes, and execute transactions that align with strategic, balance‑sheet, and / or liquidity objectives.

Beyond specific Capital Solutions assignments, summer analysts will have the opportunity to work closely with groups across the firm, gaining exposure to a wide range of industries and transaction types, including: high profile and cross-border M&A and divestiture transactions, activism and takeover defense, special committee assignments, restructuring assignments, financing and refinancing transactions and advice on capital structures.
