Lewis Silkin

Lewis Silkin LLP is a leading law firm working with businesses to protect and enhance what really matters to them — their ideas, their people and their future. We call it: Ideas. People. Possibilities.

We have two things at our core: people – ours and yours – and a focus on creativity, technology and innovation.

We are passionate about people. Whether you are a fast growth start up or a large multinational business, we help you realise the potential in your people and navigate your strategic HR and legal issues, both nationally and internationally.

Creativity, technology and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. It is reflected in the way we work, as well as in the types of businesses we work with. We help bring your ideas to life by working alongside you as a trusted partner to help create, optimise, manage and protect your ideas and your business.

With offices across the UK, Ireland and Hong Kong, and with strategic alliances across the globe, we are recognised by clients and industry alike as being distinct for our unique culture and for providing solutions to complex, multi-jurisdictional business challenges with a pragmatic and human touch. We have the right people, in the right places, at the right time, to support you.

Having advised on games since the days of the Sega Mega Drive, today we continue to advise clients from indie and AA studios to multinational developers and publishers on some of the most cutting-edge legal issues. As technologies converge and the dawn of the metaverse approaches, we also draw on the experience of our wider Media & Entertainment and Technology teams to offer cutting-edge legal advice in this ever-changing industry that now touches the worlds of advertising, music, film, TV and sport.

We offer a full-service to games clients, both large and small, who include game developers, publishers, esports platforms, game distributors, book publishers, VR and AR companies, middleware providers and more. We know games deals, the market positions and how to deal with the difficult issues that will always arise. We have experience in dealing with all kinds of games on various platforms with all different monetisation strategies, from PC and console MMOs to casual mobile games.
