Rothschild Said to Hire Lazard’s Walker as Sovereign Adviser

Rothschild, a family-run bank, hired Lazard Ltd.’s former senior adviser Mark Walker, who worked with Greece on debt restructuring, three people with knowledge of the matter said.

Walker joined Rothschild in London last month to work on sovereign debt for government clients, said the people, who declined to be named because they aren’t authorised to speak to the press on the matter. Richard Creswell, a London-based spokesman for Lazard, and a Rothschild spokesman in Paris declined to comment.
