LAZARD ALLIANCE

Capitalising on complementary skills of two leading independent firms

Lazard and RISC have entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement for Lazard’s Corporate Advisory business and RISC to work together to provide an unparalleled service offering to the oil and gas sector.

• Lazard is the leading independent corporate advisory firm
  
  

• RISC is the leading commercial and technical adviser in the oil and gas sector

Lazard Australia’s private equity fund has also acquired a 41% interest in RISC, further strengthening the relationship between the two firms. The combination provides clients with unique and extensive insights into the sector and assets as well as acess to key decision makers not available from other advisors.

• Senior team of experienced advisors
  
  
• Support of our respective global networks
  
  
• Importantly, both Lazard and RISC retain their independence

While Lazard and RISC may choose to jointly pitch or execute an advisory mandate where they believe it is beneficial to do so, clients retain the flexibility to hire one or the other independently should they so wish.

Internal protocols have been established to maintain confidentiality and ensure no conflicts of interest.
