Senior counsel | LIN Media
Vice president, assistant general counsel | Gray Television
‘I have many different audiences and counterparties – executives, operational employees, lawyers, new media managers, and regulators,’ says Joshua Pila on working as a lawyer in the entertainment industry. ‘My role allows me to stand at the crossroads of executives and operational managers, with one foot in public policy and strategy while I have another foot in day-to-day media and digital operations’. In 2013, Pila supported LIN Media in a first-of-its-kind conversion from publicly traded corporation to publicly-traded LLC. He has also introduced various online resources to assist operations within the legal function, including a new contracts management system and online training. Pila was promoted to senior counsel in 2012, after four years at the company. He previously specialized in communications law at Dow Lohnes PLLC.
