Lewis Silkin

Media & Entertainment

I have over 25 years' experience in advising clients on digital media, brand entertainment, technology, and innovation, leading the firm's Media & Entertainment group. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin in 2006, I spent several years at Warner Music and then Capital (now Global) Radio. I sit on our Management Board responsible for innovation.

I am passionate about supporting the creative community and the next generation of talent, and am Vice Chair of the Help Musicians and Chair of Music Minds Matter.

In addition to my legal practice, I am the founder and Managing Director of Eleven Advisory, a strategic and commercial advisory firm for media companies in music, sport, film, and entertainment. I help clients navigate the opportunities and challenges of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and immersive entertainment.
