DAVID-WEILL--Michel. Lazard mourns the passing of Michel David-Weill, our former Senior Partner. His inspiration, his leadership, and his vision, define Lazard today. Committed to excellence, skeptical of conventional wisdom, and the archetypal renaissance man, Michel created the modern Lazard. Michel joined the firm in 1956 and he became Senior Partner in 1979. Over the course of the next three decades, he unified, globalized and led Lazard until 2002. Michel had a vision for Lazard to be the preeminent Haute Banque, focused on advising the leading companies, institutions and individuals of the world on the financial affairs that mattered most to them. While competing firms with august histories disappeared one after another throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Michel steered Lazard with unerring steadiness. He had a clarity of thought that came from a curious and inquiring mind and had no fear. And there was always a twinkle in his eye that let you know how much he enjoyed life. We extend our thoughts and condolences to his family and everyone who was touched by this truly extraordinary man.
