Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some Mid-Market (MM) and non-elite boutique (non-EB) investment banks in London that offer a significant chance of Private Equity (PE) exits:

  • William Blair
  • Houlihan Lokey (HL)
  • Rothschild
  • Baird
  • Gleacher Shacklock
  • Arma Partners

These firms have been noted for their occasional placements into PE roles, even though the top PE firms generally prefer candidates from bulge bracket banks.
