Professional background

Jeremy has built a career taking complex things, and giving legal advice that is pragmatic and easy to understand. He’s played key roles on contentious public bills including in dairy, resource management, and waste, and is one of the Crown’s leading lawyers on amendments to the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Jeremy has used his practical legal skills representing New Zealand in international negotiations under United Nations forums, in Cabinet, in Parliament, and face-to-face with Ministers across the political spectrum.

Outside of work, he focuses on raising three little runners, and growing fruit. He can’t hit a ball to save his life, but loves getting his hands in the dirt, sipping craft beer, and making hard things simple.
