He will help better serve EY clients by identifying and bringing together the various services they need, within EY Law teams and beyond, to tackle their many and varied business challenges. Clifton is a fantastic addition to the services across the globe and will play a pivotal role as we expand the teams and continue to build on the success we have achieved so far.”
