As the private markets industry matures, more GPs are seeking strategic partners to accelerate growth, manage ownership transitions, or provide liquidity to founders and early stakeholders.

Established in 2022, GP capital advisory is the newest specialist discipline within the Lazard CL platform, established to help general partners access strategic capital at the management-company level.

The team is trusted advisor to CEOs, founders and senior leadership members on the most important company decisions, including succession planning, minority stake sales and financings, control transactions and mergers, valuations and fairness opinions, and strategic reviews, acting for GPs as well as buy-side representation.

GP capital advisory also brings close connectivity to Lazard's broader ecosystem. Clients gain direct access to Lazard's M&A, capital markets and restructuring and liability management expertise, bringing tested deal structuring and negotiation capability to bear on transactions unique to private capital managers, through a single advisory relationship.
