Jeremy Gordon is a barrister practising in Australia and in England and Wales, and he is able to offer legal advice either directly to lay clients, to solicitors, or to other professions.

Jeremy has practised continuously from his chambers in London since 1975 (in civil litigation, advising, and document drafting). In 2008 he was admitted as a lawyer in New South Wales. So he is now a practising barrister in both jurisdictions. He lives in Queensland and provides legal services throughout Australia.

Jeremy's Australian work is regulated by the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld) and by the profession's code of practice. Above the limit of insurance cover liability is limited by a scheme approved under the professional standards legislation.

Jeremy's UK work is regulated by the Bar Standards Board. See the Bar Standards Board barristers register which shows who has a current practising certificate and a barrister's disciplinary history. More information about instructing a barrister directly can be found in the Bar Standards Board document: Public Access Guidance for Lay Clients. Complaints can be made to Jeremy directly or to his chambers at Lamb Building, Temple, London EC4Y 7AS. If there is an unsatisfactory response you can generally complain within 6 months to the UK Legal Ombudsman by making contact with the Ombudsman's office (the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman must also be within 6 years of the problem happening or within 3 years from when you first found out about it).

He can usually carry out those services to suit the client's timescale but this will depend on pressure of work.
