About The Team

The LASER practice in EY is focused on developing creative solutions in a range of mainly solvent restructuring scenarios, working with clients to rationalise legal entity structures (UK and globally), return capital to shareholders of owner managed and private equity backed businesses, unwind investment trusts and private client structures as well as merging and demerging and restructuring groups and businesses across all sectors, including Financial Services.
