Lazard Ltd (NYSE: LAZ) announced today that the firm has secured a new U.K. headquarters at 20 Manchester Square, London. The seven-storey building will house both the Financial Advisory and Asset Management businesses.

The firm has signed a 15-year lease for the property with Invesco Real Estate beginning mid-2024 and expects to take occupancy by early 2025, following a programme of renovations.
