Meet the Team
Victoria Gray, Founder & Principal
Victoria is a qualified solicitor and a senior legal adviser with over a decade of experience helping high-growth businesses drive commercial success. Before founding Gray Legal in 2023, she held C-suite level roles at SMEs, leading Legal and HR functions, working closely with Boards and alongside leadership teams to deliver strategic legal input across funding rounds, commercial deals and key growth milestones in both the UK and US.
With a deep understanding of the pace and pressure of scaling a business, Victoria provides fractional General Counsel support that is practical, affordable and flexible. She helps clients close deals with confidence, navigate investor negotiations, manage legal risk and build the operational foundations needed to support sustained growth.
Victoria founded Gray Legal to give ambitious SMEs access to embedded, high-quality, commercially minded legal support without the overhead of a traditional in-house team, and to offer a smarter, more affordable alternative to traditional legal models.
