"Lazard, one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms with origins dating back to 1848, is looking for capable and talented graduates to participate in the 2011 Australian Summer Internship Program.  Lazard operates from 40 cities across 25 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Central and South America. Lazard is recognised as one of the Global Leaders in providing advice on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, capital raising and corporate finance together with asset management services to corporations, partnerships, institutions, governments, and individuals.  In Australia, Lazard is recognised as one of the leading independent advisory firms demonstrated by its involvement in some of the country's leading M&A and Restructuring assignments, with recent transactions including: advising BHP on its proposed Pilbra Joint Venture with Rio Tinto; advising Newcrest on its proposed merger with Lihir and advising Transurban on its recent takeover defence.
 

A summer internship with Lazard is an excellent way of gaining a better understanding of the nature and culture of our business. It will allow you to experience the Analyst role whilst seeing colleagues operate at every level in our business. An internship may lead to an offer of a position with Lazard in the following year’s Analyst Program. We look for the same qualities in our summer interns as we require in our Analysts. Positions will be offered in the Sydney and Melbourne Offices and will run from December 2010 through to February 2011.
