Jeremy L. Thompson helps employers navigate the modern workplace, whether that means defending high-stakes discrimination suits, conducting internal investigations, or future-proofing HR policies against emerging AI-driven risks. Over the last decade, Jeremy has tried complex cases to verdict as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and as an Army Special Trial Counsel. He has briefed federal judges on employment-related matters as a judicial intern, and advised decision makers at every level of government: immigration judges, military commanders, soldiers in the field, and federal investigators building their cases.

Jeremy’s academic work, featured in the Harvard Law & Policy Review, Thurgood Marshall Law Review, and BYU Education & Law Journal, focuses on pragmatic strategies to reduce the U.S. prison population while alleviating the federal debt burden. By blending sentencing reform analytics with fiscal modeling, Jeremy examines how more innovative criminal justice policies can free resources for both communities and taxpayers. 

That research mindset shapes his practice. Jeremy translates data-driven insights into clear compliance playbooks that reduce risk, support equitable workplaces, and align legal strategy with broader societal goals.

Whether for a general counsel facing a novel wage and hour class action, a founder rolling out algorithmic hiring tools, or an agency balancing mission readiness with employment obligations, Jeremy brings courtroom credibility, policy fluency, and pragmatic counsel so clients can focus on growth, not litigation.
