Lepercq History
The firm of André Istel & Co. was founded in New York on the
eve of World War II as the U.S. arm of the Banque Schlumberger, a private
French bank, now the Banque de Neuflize.
Paul Lepercq, the founder of the present-day company, joined André
Istel & Co. in 1949, having emigrated to the United States from Paris
in 1948. In the mid-50s André Istel & Co. became Istel, Lepercq
& Co., and still later the company took on its current name, Lepercq,
de Neuflize & Co. Paul Lepercq was the firm’s CEO until
1977 and remained the company’s Chairman of the Board until 1995.
