Jeremy also does significant work with Indigenous law. He works with Indigenous Government Organizations (IGOs) and others, providing support on governance, commercial matters, and land claims.
Before going into private practice, Jeremy spent several years in public practice, where he focused on environmental law. He articled with the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) in Toronto, where he drafted submissions for the relicensing of reactors at the Bruce Power nuclear facility.
He studied at Vermont Law School, known for its strong environmental law program, and interned with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US, working on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC, where he promoted the Keystone XL pipeline.
After articling, Jeremy joined the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) to help create new legislation after the federal government gave the GNWT more control over natural resources. His background in environmental law was a good fit for this work, and he was involved in local resource projects, focusing on mining and oil and gas, along with Indigenous consultation.
