Lazard’s annual ‘Women in Banking’ events are usually held in Europe and the Americas, although this year with a virtual event we saw an opportunity to include the global firm.

We are proud to have worked with City Harvest in recent years, making donations and volunteering at their food banks when possible. This year, Lazard was one of the top five donors for City Harvest’s Skip Lunch Fight Hunger campaign, which helped feed nearly 11,000 children and families for an entire month. Our logo now appears on one of the organization’s trucks.
Our US Summer Analysts are a talented bunch with a wide variety of experiences. We?re sure they will make an impact during their virtual program.
