Leading global law firm Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer has
advised ClearScore, one of the UK's leading fintech companies,
on its acquisition of Acre Platforms, the UK’s leading
mortgage brokerage tech platform.
The acquisition will form part of ClearScore's

The Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer team was led by Corporate

included Employment partner Tim Leaver.

A huge thank you to Ed Freeman and the team for their trust and
