Lazard has switched sides to win its first mandate from Montagu Private Equity, the UK-based buy-out firm, which has just paid €1.03bn ($1.23bn) for BSN Medical.

BSN Medical is a 50-50 joint-venture between German personal hygiene group Beiersdorf and US medical equipment manufacturer Smith & Nephew.
