Legal Question in Securities Law in California
License to work in Private Equity
I have heard of a new opportunity in
Private Equity. My function would be
kind of like HR, where I would call
potential candidates and get them
excited about working for the firm.
These candidates, if hired, would
then be involved in raising capital for
the firm. Do I need a license to
engage in this type of work?

Re: License to work in Private Equity
You don't need a license per se, but all those people you recruit need to have a license. And, by the way, there is not to be any general solicitation with private equity. So, the company needs to be careful in how they use these new employees.
