B Capital, an international venture capital firm, made an $8.1 million Series A investment round in SilverCloud Health, which provides online therapeutic solutions to improve behavioural health and mental wellness.

The Matheson team advising B Capital Group was led by Dublin-based corporate M&A partner Fergus Bolster (pictured) and Silicon Valley-based tax partner Mark O’Sullivan.

Commenting on the deal, Mr Bolster said: “We are very pleased to have acted for B Capital on this exciting deal. This transaction is the latest example of why our distinctive offering of legal and tax advice, combined with our on-the-ground presence on both West and East coasts, makes us the law firm of choice to provide sophisticated counsel to US venture capital funds in connection with their cross-border investment activities in Irish technologies companies.”.

Matheson has offices in Dublin, London, New York and Palo Alto and was the first Irish law firm to open an office in Silicon Valley in 1996.
