Jeremy Thompson

Jeremy L. Thompson helps employers navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, whether defending high-stakes discrimination suits, conducting sensitive internal investigations, or future-proofing HR policies against emerging risks like AI-driven decision-making.

Jeremy previously served as an Army Special Trial Counsel, prosecuting misconduct and advising military commanders and federal investigators in high-pressure environments. Earlier in his career, he provided legal guidance to soldiers in the field. He has also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, trying complex cases to verdict and advising federal agencies on enforcement strategy. Jeremy’s legal career began in the prestigious U.S. Department of Justice Honors Program, where he advised Immigration Judges on immigration law. 

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, he explores how innovative criminal justice policies can unlock resources for communities and taxpayers alike.

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

Whether advising a general counsel facing a novel wage-and-hour class action, a founder deploying algorithmic hiring tools, or a public agency balancing mission readiness with employment obligations, Jeremy brings courtroom credibility, policy fluency, and pragmatic counsel so clients can focus on growth, not litigation. When litigation is necessary, Jeremy is ready to advocate with precision, strategy, and resolve.
