David advises clients across a range of industries on UK and international transactions but with a focus on the gambling, technology and sports sectors. “I’ve spent over 20 years advising companies on M&A transactions, joint ventures, fundraisings and re-organisations. I was previously General Counsel at a leading listed gambling software supplier and advise some of the leading operators, suppliers and other stakeholders in the betting and gaming sector on their M&A and commercial deals, together with their regulatory and compliance strategies. Having worked in-house as part of a management team for a number of years, I understand the commercial drivers of a project as well as the legal obstacles and can help navigate problems and unlock value to achieve the best outcome for my clients. Clients say I am “unflinchingly commercial, realistic and pragmatic”. My sons wish I took the same approach to their homework.”

I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Commercial team. I am also responsible for leading the Firm’s cross-office multi-disciplinary Consumer Brands team, as well as heading-up the Firm’s Intellectual Property team. My practice encompasses a wide range of commercial work, acting for a broad spectrum of clients, from start-ups and entrepreneurs though to international household names. I value the long-term relationships which I have fostered with many of my clients, built on delivering practical and, where necessary, pragmatic advice. I have a particular passion for advising clients operating in the Food & Drink sector. A number of my key clients are certified B-Corps, which has served as a fantastic education for me – recognising that a client’s desired outcomes may not be purely based on financial metrics. I joined Michelmores fresh from law school just over 20 years ago. It has been a privilege to mature as a lawyer and build a practice in tandem with the Firm’s growth over the past two decades. I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law from Nottingham Law School.

I work with startups and investors at every stage of the corporate finance cycle, from early rounds through to exit. I'm a tech early adopter and tinkerer outside of work so getting fully stuck into the UK's startup scene as part of my day job is a perfect match for me. My clients cover a wide spread of the UK tech sector, from hardware and life sciences to fintech, martech, and game development. I'm a regular speaker at startup events, breaking down legal pitfalls for startups on everything from investment rounds to co-founder relationships and exit sales. I am co-head our Technology sector group, and am one of the leaders of our Startup initiative, providing user-friendly advice to startups across the full scope of services that Lewis Silkin has to offer.
