Squire Patton Boggs has advised ECI on its investment in Helio Intelligence, Europe’s leading provider of AI-enabled political intelligence and public affairs monitoring services. The transaction, which will see Bridgepoint reinvesting as a minority shareholder, is subject to regulatory approval.
The Squire Patton Boggs team advising ECI was led by Corporate partners James Fitzgibbon and Charles Leeming.
Founded in 1998, Helio Intelligence (previously DeHavilland) empowers its clients with expert-led insights so they can track and interpret political, regulatory and policy developments across the UK and Europe. The company combines more than 25 years of political monitoring data with on-the-ground expert insight to deliver real-time political intelligence and bespoke analysis to over 1,000 customers, including corporates, non-profit organisations, and investment firms.
ECI will be supporting management to capitalise on the growing political and public policy information market, with multiple tailwinds including the complexity of the legislative agenda and growing relevance of public affairs insights to blue-chip clients.
