Grant Thornton’s well established Financial Services Restructuring & Insolvency team (FSR&I) specialise in supporting firms in the financial services sector navigate periods of stress and distress by providing restructuring and insolvency services.
We help lenders, investors and management teams with challenging situations arising from financial or operational issues which may be driven by changing market conditions or regulatory intervention.

The FSR&I team support a wide range of financial services firms, including insurers, brokers, clearing banks, e-money and payment service providers, funds and investment managers, among others.
