Lex Chan

Consultant

Lex is a solicitor working at the intersection of creativity and commerce. With 15 years of experience across global law firms, media companies, and tech startups, she supports creators and innovators as they navigate growth, collaboration, and the protection of their work — without compromising its creative integrity.

Lex works with the OPL team advising clients on legal, strategic, and operational matters that support creative work in all its forms. She combines legal rigour with deep understanding of the ebbs and flows of creative endeavour. In her legal work, her aim is to offer structure that supports rather than stifles — so that clients can focus on what they do best: creating, innovating, and bringing ideas to life.

In her most recent role as General Counsel at The Business of Fashion, Lex built and led the legal function across the UK, US, and China, guiding the company through key moments of expansion and organisational change. She also co-founded Belong, the diversity, inclusion, community, and equity council within the business.

Lex’s legal expertise focuses on creativity in the fields of fashion, design and publishing.

She is a member of the Editorial Board of Acne Paper.
