  • Sirius XM and Pandora Media in the Web V proceeding before the CRB, which will determine the rates to be paid by non-interactive (i.e., radio-style) webcasters to the recorded music industry for the rights to publicly perform copyrighted sound recordings and to make ephemeral copies of those recordings over the 2021-2025 period.
  • The Carlyle Group in insurance litigation.
  • National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation in connection with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s bankruptcy proceedings.

Jeremy has been recognized for his pro bono work, which has focused on helping disadvantaged children with special needs and advising Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on copyright and trademark issues.

In 2020, 2021, and 2022, Jeremy was recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, and in 2020 he received a Burton Distinguished Legal Writing Award for an article he co-authored entitled “Music Licensing Overhaul Signed into Law,” which originally was published in Intellectual Property & Technology Law Journal.
