Commercial rescue for the problems your teams cannot unlock.
Taylor Commercial Intelligence helps businesses recover control when contracts, suppliers, claims, governance or legal/commercial decision-making have become stuck, expensive, sensitive or politically difficult.
Led by Victoria Taylor and delivered through a hand-picked network of senior specialists, we step into the gap between legal advice, commercial reality and operational pressure — and help the business find a route that works.
We support urgent interventions, retained advisory relationships and longer-term commercial transformation.
You usually call us after the obvious options have failed.
By the time a commercial problem reaches senior leadership, it has usually stopped being a simple contract, supplier or process issue. It has become a business problem: value is at risk, relationships are strained, decisions are delayed and internal teams are no longer aligned.
The contract will not close.
The supplier is dictating the position.
A claim or dispute is escalating.
Legal has identified the risks, but no route forward.
Commercial and procurement are misaligned.
Governance is slowing decisions.
The customer relationship is under pressure.
Nobody owns the issue end-to-end.
Delay is now costing money.
We restore control, protect value and get decisions moving.
Taylor Commercial Intelligence is brought in when the issue is too important to drift and too complex to sit neatly in one function. We establish the facts, identify the leverage, align the right people and create a practical route forward — whether the problem sits in the contract, the claim, the supplier relationship, the governance model or the way the business makes decisions.

The nickname stuck because Victoria is usually brought in when the business has already tried the normal route. Contracts are tangled, suppliers are pushing, claims are becoming entrenched, internal teams are frustrated and legal advice may have explained the risk without unlocking the decision.
Victoria's strength is finding the commercial path through — protecting value, keeping relationships intact where possible and getting the business moving again.
Taylor Commercial Intelligence was created to bring that same calm, practical intervention to organisations that need the issue resolved — not simply explained.
Legal advice is part of the answer. Commercial judgment is the difference.
Solicitors are essential when specialist legal advice is required. But many commercial problems are not solved by legal drafting alone.
In large businesses, problems often sit between legal, procurement, finance, operations, sales and senior leadership. Legal advice can identify risk, but businesses still need to make decisions, maintain momentum and protect relationships.
Real-world commercial experience bridges the gap between legal ideals and practical outcomes.
Taylor Commercial Intelligence works in that gap — helping organisations avoid unnecessary delay, reduce defensive decision-making, keep important supplier and customer relationships intact, and turn legal and contractual complexity into clear commercial action.
Pure legal advice can sometimes make a business more cautious without making it more capable. The commercial skill is knowing how to protect the position while still keeping the deal, relationship or operation moving.
Use legal advice when you need a legal opinion. Use Taylor Commercial Intelligence when you need the commercial problem solved.
Flexible support for different levels of urgency.
Some clients need a focused diagnostic. Others need urgent intervention, board-level advisory, retained access or embedded commercial leadership over a defined period. We shape the engagement around the problem, the urgency and the level of support required.
