DWF has advised Zeus Capital as it acted as sole bookrunner, nominated adviser and broker in the successful £5 million fundraising for leading virtual reality content creation business EVR Holdings plc.

The funds will be used to develop the company's existing content library as well as extend its capability in live music capture and digital content creation. EVR is also looking to expand its global reach and will be investing in its marketing resources to enter new markets.
