Barrister specialising in Commercial & Chancery, Financial Services, Business Crime & Investigations, Employment & Discrimination, Disciplinary & Regulatory, Public Law, Sanctions & Export Controls, International Administrative & Disciplinary Law.

Jeremy was called to the bar in 2018.

Jeremy’s primary areas of practice include business crime, sanctions, regulation and commercial litigation – in particular financial crime, investigation and regulation, in both the public and private sectors. More widely, he acts in commercial and regulatory cases involving cryptoassets and data protection/privacy issues.

He is well-suited to advise and represent clients with complex commercial disputes, particularly those involving financial services and regulators. His commercial acumen arises from working in senior banking roles for several years, for which he provides a pragmatic approach and creative solutions for clients. As a former lead investigator for a London-based international bank, he is skilled in managing complex and delicate enquiries and investigations, while his experience in handling both commercial and employment litigation enables him effectively to mitigate the risks to which such an enquiry can give rise.

In 2023, Jeremy was appointed to the Attorney-General’s C Panel of junior counsel to the Crown.

Jeremy came to the Bar after a successful career in banking and regulation, having run investigation and anti-corruption programmes for Standard Chartered Bank (ultimately as its deputy global head of AB&C) and then established an anti- fraud and anti-corruption function in EMEA for Bank of Montreal. Before going into banking, he was an intelligence and investigations specialist at the Financial Services Authority, latterly serving as its deputy MLRO.

Jeremy is public access qualified and accepts instructions directly from members of the public. He is also a qualified mediator: a skill which not only enables him to assist as a neutral arbiter in disputes, but to represent clients effectively in commercial mediations.
