The Corporate Partners Investment Alliance is a multinational merchant banking partnership.  The Partners invest their own capital with other sophisticated investors in privately negotiated investments they organize, and provide strategic financial advice to top management and boards of businesses.

Corporate Partners was founded in 1988 within Lazard Frères & Co. as a leading institutional private equity business, specialized in making structured minority investments in companies affording the prospect of attractive risk-adjusted returns.

The firm became independent of Lazard in 2009 under two of its founding partners.  In 2023, CPIA united over twenty Partners into a broad-based merchant banking partnership.  All of CPIA's Partners have been leaders in major investment and investment banking firms or c-suite executives in successful companies and professional firms.









Investment banking services are provided through Corporate Partners & Co. LLC, a registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA and SIPC, Rockefeller Center, 1270 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020.
