Lazard Capital Says Still Weighing Options With No Plans to Shut

Lazard Capital Markets LLC, the closely held brokerage controlled by current and former Lazard Ltd. employees, said it’s still exploring options such as a sale and has no plans to close.

“It’s business as usual, serving clients,” Scott Sunshine, a spokesman for the New York-based broker-dealer, said in a phone interview. “There is no deal announcement imminent, and there are no plans to shut the firm down.”
