International law firm DAC Beachcroft has advised European mobile gaming company 24/7 Gaming Group Holdings plc (24/7) on its successful admission to AIM to yesterday (31st July).

The deal values 24/7, a leading provider of services, apps and operating systems to the mobile gaming industry for smartphones and tablets, at more than £65m.

He added: “This deal underlines DAC Beachcroft’s commitment to the market and is also further testament to the renewed health of AIM, which has endured some adverse publicity but, pleasingly, is well on the way to a full recovery.”

24/7 Chief Executive, Rogier Smit, said: “Clive Garston and the DAC Beachcroft team provided a first-rate service and were a pleasure to work with. Their experience of this market combined with considerable commercial and legal know-how helped to get the deal done smoothly and efficiently."
