Based on the most helpful WSO content, neither Raine Group nor Qatalyst is specifically highlighted for recruiting exclusively from Oxbridge. However, CVP (Centerview Partners) is noted for its exclusivity in recruiting.
For other boutiques and middle-market (MM) firms known for exclusivity, particularly in London, firms like PJT Partners, Evercore, and Lazard are often mentioned for targeting highly prestigious universities, including Oxbridge. Additionally, firms like Rothschild and Moelis also tend to focus on top-tier academic institutions, though not necessarily with the same exclusivity as CVP.

Bump
None of the 2 banks you mentioned... lol
Neither lol - a simple LinkedIn search would answer your questions. The only other respectable firm I can think of is Ardea Partners, any other firms that are exclusively Oxbridge aren't mainstream names.
Do Ardea & any of these non-mainstream firms sponsor visas?
Bump
Ardea does, but again its def not exclusively Oxbridge…
