Join the Global Research Institute on Tuesday April 9 from 2-3 pm in the Hive Event Space* for "Coffee with an International Development Lawyer", featuring Jamie Head. 

Jamie has extensive global experience and is currently representing many of the world’s leading infrastructure and public-private partnership (P3) actors — spanning from the United States government to the World Bank to leading infrastructure investors in New York and London. Supplementary to his previous service as a JAG Officer in the US Navy and Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of an American retail company, Jamie has more than twelve years of experience advising on some of the most difficult and innovative large-scale energy and infrastructure projects in the world, including in the United States, Argentina, Belize, Ecuador, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Burundi, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Croatia, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, Turkey, Cambodia, Mongolia Oman and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Two of his deals have been named the “Deal of the Year” — one in the 2022 IFLR Americas Debt & Equity category and one in the 2019 IJGlobal Asia Pacific Roads category.

During his time in the Navy, Jamie prosecuted members of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Mahdi Army before the Central Criminal Court of Iraq, oversaw the Joint Transition Office mission to inform the Iraqi Cabinet of evidence against 15,000 detainees, and clerked for the Court of Military Commissions Review in Washington, D.C., hearing appeals of unlawful belligerents tried by military commission in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was also honored to serve our Marines and Sailors as a legal advocate and defense attorney in courts martial and on appeal before the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Military Review.
