Legal Entity Rationalisation (LER) – What is it called?

Legal Entity Rationalisation, Corporate simplification, Legal Entity Reduction, Group Rationalisation, Solvent Reorganisation…

Whatever you call it they are one and the same. They may present unique challenges but the same issues arise in each project around the priorities of resource and cost.

The success of a Legal Entity Rationalisation (“LER”) project is often determined at inception. Sponsorship is vital but getting the right resource, with the right experience at the beginning of the project is fundamental. That resource, with the requisite restructuring experience, is unlikely to be found in-house. Even if you are lucky enough to have it, those with LER skills are often very much in demand for other cost saving, revenue generating or strategic projects.

JC offers a unique solution to help clients maximise the benefits of undertaking LER initiatives. We provide dedicated LER resource with a real depth of restructuring expertise focussed on working seamlessly with the client team and incumbent advisors as one. Our extensive experience of identifying, scoping, initiating and delivering on LER projects is the key to this. It allows the client team to focus on their own areas of specific expertise whilst we provide the restructuring advice AND project delivery to ensure rationalisation initiatives move forwards at pace with a thorough understanding of the challenges LER projects present.

 

How do we do it….

We have a specifically curated team who all share deep LER project experience but with additional and complementary skills. These include qualified project managers, accountants, financial modelling experts, senior tax advisors, commercial/corporate lawyers and of course a background running through the team of Big 4 advisory. Having such skills and experience at our disposal means we can mould our team and delivery model to suit the individual client need and change it over time.

At JC we ensure collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Experience is shared, individuals and teams are enthusiastically encouraged to discuss and challenge approaches so we find the best way for the individual client and circumstance.

JC Consulting provides restructuring advisory and project delivery services. Our restructuring advisory expertise is combined with core principles of project management to drive projects forward in a controlled environment – it is what sets us apart from other advisors.

We often embed ourselves in our clients’ teams in order to become familiar with their business, practices and people to help drive the results required.

Based in the UK, we also have a presence in Europe and Australia, enabling us to meet the needs of our global clients.
