From the courtroom to the pitcher’s mound.
Zelms Erlich Lenkov is proud to celebrate founding partner Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who threw the ceremonial first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers game on May 31, 2026, at Dodger Stadium.
Jeffrey’s career has long bridged the worlds of law, sports, and entertainment. As the leader of ZEL’s Entertainment Law, Professional Sports Law, and several high-stakes litigation teams, he has represented world-class athletes, sports announcers, celebrities, professional sports organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and major entertainment clients.
His connection to the sports world runs deep. Jeffrey is a certified players’ agent with the NHLPA, has played a role in major professional sports matters, and was recently elected to the 2025-26 class of the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
And it seems he may have brought a little luck to the mound. The Dodgers went on to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-1, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto striking out 10 and Los Angeles securing the series win.
Throwing the first pitch at Dodger Stadium was more than a memorable moment. It was a fitting tribute to a career built on advocacy, leadership, and a lifelong connection to sports.
Congratulations, Jeffrey. What an incredible honor.
