Capability
My passion is to help develop and empower strong in-house legal teams, who partner with their organisation to provide ‘can-do’ solutions that add real value. I have 20 years of legal experience in government and private practice roles, leading legal, policy and technical teams. As former General Counsel on the EQC Executive Team, I understand the importance of supporting an organisation through periods of intense change and crisis management. I have extensive experience in public & Crown Entity law, including Inquiries; litigation strategy; contracting & procurement; insurance and construction law. I have also led the development of new regulatory schemes and the overhaul of legislation in the building and local government sectors.

What Jeremy Fords' clients say
-
Jeremy is working out absolutely fantastically and he is exactly what I wanted and needed for me and his team. He has worked out very quickly where the issues are and is now addressing them professionally. He is enabling his team to demonstrate how well they can do their jobs and I am already receiving petitions to keep him on forever!
