Quality and consistency through collaboration

Congratulations to Jake Kyranis from our Government Public & Regulatory practice, who has been promoted to Partner effective 1 October 2026.

Jake began his career as a Federal Prosecutor at the Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions before moving to the Department of Home Affairs and later joining Sparke Helmore in 2015. 

A senior administrative lawyer and litigator, Jake regularly advises and appears for Commonwealth agencies on a broad range of public law matters.  His practice includes advising on statutory interpretation, the application of legislation, litigation strategy, administrative decision-making and regulatory processes. 

Jake brings extensive experience conducting public law litigation on behalf of the Commonwealth and regularly appears as a solicitor advocate in merits review and judicial review proceedings before the Federal Court of Australia (FCA), the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) and the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).

Ben Dube, Sparke Helmore’s Government Public & Regulatory Group Leader, said, ‘I’m proud to see Jake join the partnership. His reputation as a leading lawyer, combined with the trust he has earned from his clients, makes this a well-deserved milestone and recognition of his hard work and success.’

Jake is based in our Perth office, after recently moving from Brisbane.  Continued Ben, ‘Jake moving from Brisbane to Perth reflects both his ambition and the firm’s commitment to growing our presence in Western Australia.  He is ideally placed to lead and expand our government practice, and I have no doubt he will make a significant impact.’
