Italian investment bank Mediobanca has agreed to buy boutique advisory firm Arma Partners, which is based in The Shard, as it hopes to get closer to London’s top tech companies.
Arma, which employs 86 people, has advised on a number of major tech deals, including Atos’ acquisition of Cloudreach and EQT’s purchase of Suse. In the last five years, it has advised on more than $85 billion worth of deals and its revenue last year was more than $100 million.
