He is based in the Firm’s Washington, DC office.
An experienced litigator and former executive official at the U.S. Department of Justice, Jeremy focuses his practice on high-stakes litigation, regulatory litigation, appeals, and legal strategy. He regularly represents clients in investigations, adjudications, and litigation involving federal agencies. He also has an active appellate practice, having successfully represented clients before the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts of appeals. He has first-chaired more than 60 appellate wins and has argued in courts across the country.
Jeremy was most recently a partner at King & Spalding. Before that, he served as Deputy Associate Attorney General at DOJ, managing complex litigation involving the FDA and environmental disputes involving the EPA. He oversaw several litigating divisions, including the Environment & Natural Resources Division and the Civil Division as a member of the executive leadership of the Department. Prior to assuming a DOJ leadership role, Jeremy served as an appellate attorney at DOJ where he litigated appeals in nearly all of the federal appellate courts.
Earlier in his career, Jeremy served as a judicial clerk for The Honorable Edith H. Jones, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Before beginning his legal career, Jeremy served in the U.S. Army.
