Author: Jeremy Szwider

Jeremy Szwider is the managing director of Bespoke and one of its founders. He is regarded as a pre-eminent commercial lawyer across Australia (and has also practiced in England). Proudly, Jeremy is widely recognised as a leading specialist in intellectual property and technology law, featuring in various publications as a leading expert in those fields. Across industry and media circles, Jeremy is renowned as a NewLaw pioneer. He has been gallantly revolutionising the legal profession, shaping a law firm defined by its differences. Bespoke’s value based pricing and in-house legal solutions, focussed on gold-plated quality, is an extension of Jeremy’s burning passion. Sport and his beloved ‘blues’ football teams (Carlton and Chelsea) are what keeps Jeremy’s focus away from the office, unless of course, he gets distracted by his other passions of travel and wine appreciation.
