Congratulations to former List Chair Jeremy Gobbo KC on receiving VPELA’s highest honour, the Richard J Evans Award, at last week’s VPELA Gala Dinner!

Jeremy was a member of Foley's List until his retirement from the Bar in 2022.

Jeremy has spent almost all of his long career of 40 years at the Victorian Bar and twenty four of those as a silk, involved in planning and environmental matters. Beyond his skill as an advocate, he made a lasting contribution to the Bar community, mentoring many barristers both formally and informally. His door was always open, and he was a trusted confidant to many across chambers.

We are proud to acknowledge his remarkable achievements and celebrate this well-deserved recognition.
