Acrisure, a Fintech leader that operates a top-10 global insurance broker, recently announced its acquisition of Unilink Group, the largest insurance distribution platform in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. Through the partnership, Acrisure adds over 1,300 colleagues across Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Moldova and clients in the same geography.
Varnum partner Seth Ashby worked closely with Acrisure’s International M&A team and foreign counsel who handled the due diligence and foreign law aspects of the deal. Ashby handled the U.S. aspects and was involved in the overall transaction planning and structuring, as well as assisting in the review and negotiation of the share purchase agreement.
