Our mission is simple: streamline recruitment, deliver exceptional results, and build lasting partnerships. With a focus on the West Coast, we blend industry expertise with a personalized, ethical approach to help firms find the right fit—every time. At Fernridge Group, we don’t just fill positions; we create connections that drive success.

We partner with investment managers across asset classes, from traditional long-only firms to alternative strategies. Our focus is on building compliance and legal teams that can adapt to evolving regulations while supporting the growth and stability of the business.
Private equity firms face complex compliance and governance challenges as they manage multiple funds, investors, and portfolio companies. We work closely with GCs, CCOs, and deal teams to identify professionals who bring both technical expertise and commercial judgment.
Hedge funds require agile compliance and legal talent to navigate fast-moving markets and evolving regulatory frameworks. We support firms of all sizes, from emerging managers to established platforms, helping them secure the right professionals to scale responsibly.
Venture capital firms are increasingly attentive to compliance as investor expectations and regulatory scrutiny grow. We help VCs build lean but effective legal and compliance functions, ensuring they can stay focused on sourcing and supporting portfolio innovation.
Family offices often balance flexibility with oversight in managing diverse investments. We provide access to compliance and legal professionals who can design and maintain frameworks tailored to each office’s unique structure, governance, and investment strategy.
