Arkios, the corporate finance advisory boutique that is half-owned by West End firm Mishcon de Reya, has closed its first three venture capital transactions.

The operation – which 36-partner Mishcons bought into seven months ago – has closed two deals in the UK worth £26m, as well as the £2m funding of a Swedish technology company.
Arkios, which specialises in development capital for small to medium-sized companies, closed all three deals in June.
