Lewis Silkin acted for the founders of We Are Friday, Alex Wright and Chris Walker, on the sale of the company to PA Consulting, a global innovation and transformation consultancy.

We Are Friday are an exciting digital agency and it was a pleasure working with Alex and Chris to secure a successful sale.
