Legal support built around the business
Senior counsel for the work that cannot be left to chance.
TVA combines embedded and interim capacity, ongoing legal leadership, commercial execution and transaction support. Each engagement is designed around the organisation's priorities, existing legal resource and stage of growth.
- Embedded & interim
- Fractional GC
- Commercial contracts
- Transactions
Not every organisation needs the same legal model. Some have no General Counsel and need senior legal leadership. Others already have a legal team and need additional capacity, interim cover or experienced support for a major contract, financing or acquisition. TVA provides the appropriate level of ownership without creating unnecessary structure.

- Major transactions or periods of increased workload
- Ownership of defined legal workstreams
- Remote, part-time or embedded working arrangements
Fractional General Counsel
An experienced legal lead for businesses without a General Counsel, working as part of the business without the cost and commitment of a permanent appointment.

External counsel
The role of external counsel
TVA does not attempt to replace specialist external counsel where they are genuinely required. We help the business decide when to use them, brief them properly, manage the work and keep the advice connected to the commercial objective.
