Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract] |
CONSOLIDATED VIEs | CONSOLIDATED VIEs LFI Consolidated Funds The Company’s consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include certain funds (“LFI Consolidated Funds”) that were established for the benefit of employees participating in the Company’s existing LFI deferred compensation arrangement. Lazard invests in these funds and is the investment manager and is therefore deemed to have both the power to direct the most significant activities of the funds and the right to receive benefits (or the obligation to absorb losses) that could potentially be significant to these funds. The assets of LFI Consolidated Funds, except as it relates to $33,584 and $68,452 of LFI owned by Lazard Group as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, can only be used to settle the obligations of LFI Consolidated Funds. The Company’s consolidated VIE assets and liabilities for LFI Consolidated Funds as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition consist of the following at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
