I am a Partner and Co-Head of the Digital, Commerce & Creative team. I specialise in the drafting and negotiation of commercial and technology contracts and the development, protection and exploitation of intellectual property assets.

I am a Deputy Co-Head of the firm's Media & Entertainment group and Co-founder of our network for decision makers of luxury, lifestyle and premium brand businesses – The Collective by Lewis Silkin. I advise clients across a broad range of sectors, but in particular those in media, technology, retail, entertainment, fashion, luxury and advertising.

Commercial, Technology and IP

I advise on a wide range of commercial and technology matters. Contract drafting and negotiation, and IP protection and exploitation, are at the core of my practice.

I regularly assist clients with:

  • the negotiation of commercial arrangements including agency and distribution deals, collaborations and partnerships, outsourcing, complex services arrangements, terms of sale and supply, franchise and concession agreements, and e-commerce and goods to market solutions
  • complex technology contracts from software, platform and technology development and licensing to systems integration, managed services and cloud based solutions
  • IP and rights heavy deals such as sponsorship, brand partnerships, acquisitions, merchandising and licensing, endorsement and talent arrangements, and content creation
  • strategic commercial business decisions
  • consumer and data protection law compliance

Media and Entertainment

Since qualifying in 2011, I have been privileged to work for some of the world’s leading media and entertainment clients from well-known broadcasters and producers to global publishers, media owners, agencies, talent and social media platforms.

I regularly assist clients with:

  • navigating developing areas of digital media, social media and the convergence of media x tech
  • branded entertainment and partnership deals, content creation and the production of large scale multi-million pound events (both of a live and digital nature)
  • distribution of media and the leveraging of digital content, IP rights, brands and platforms
  • media buying/selling
  • talent deals
