2026 London Financial Advisory Spring Insight Programme

Lazard is the world’s largest independent financial advisory firm, built over generations on a foundation of client service. Spread across 43 cities around the world, our people represent over 70 different nationalities and advise corporations, partnerships, institutions, governments, sovereign entities, and individuals in every major region.

That’s why we take a different perspective when it comes to our Financial Advisory talent – we believe we can serve our clients best with people who are analysts, strategists, relationship builders and innovators from all types of degree backgrounds. We believe that the right talent could be anywhere, so if you’d like to embrace variety and explore your career opportunities from a different perspective, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Spring Insight Programme spans over 3-days and will give you a well-rounded overview of the Financial Advisory business at Lazard: its history, culture, and people.

You’ll take part in:

• skills workshops run by industry M&A sector and product teams

• spend one-on-one time with an Analyst, learning more about the work they do

• a technical training workshop; and

• a group project to embed your learning over the 3 days

A Lazard Spring Insight Programme can lead to an opportunity to be considered for the following year’s Summer Internship programme.

Whatever subject you’re reading, all you need right now is a passion and flair for thinking differently and deeply about the challenge in front of you.

Whether you realise it or not, you’ve already got the skills we’re looking for. Grow with purpose. Lead with Lazard.
