Advisory & Fractional CLO

Business leaders today face an environment where regulatory demands, market pressures, and operational risks are constantly changing. Viswanathan & Associates’ Advisory & Fractional Chief Legal Officer (CLO) services offer a boardroom-level legal partner without the fixed overhead of a full-time in-house general counsel.

We embed ourselves within your leadership structure, providing strategic legal insight for business growth. Our work extends from building resilient governance frameworks and risk management policies to guiding your organisation through high-stakes negotiations and market entry strategies. Engagements are flexible, scalable, and tailored to your specific stage of growth — from early expansion to restructuring or crisis response.

Our ADVISORY SCOPE:
