About

Jeremy Leach has been vice president, group general counsel and secretary to the board of the global producer of aluminium semi-products Constellium, since January 2011. Since the inception of the legal department to its current position steering the strategic direction of the company, its life span is bestowed on Leach. He led the recent Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Constellium on the NYSE in 2013 and led the department during a period of understaffing. Leach has also managed the secondary registrations in US dollars and euro denominated bond issues. Leach began as an English solicitor working with international law firms such as Richards Butler (now Reed Smith) before going in-house in the industrial sector through his legal role with Pechiney in 1991. Before his role at Constellium, Leach was previously general counsel at Alcan Engineered Products, having gained experience and industry knowledge at Alcan Packaging, Rio Tinto and Pechiney. Constellium was the result of the sale of Alcan Engineered Products to Apollo Management by Rio Tinto before eventually going independent. His years of expertise helped facilitate the sale and purchase of the company with the result being its current market position. His understanding of the history of the company and its commercial grounds helps him foster the legal services to be both the foundation and pillar of support that Constellium requires.
