Jared joined the Ohio Attorney General’s Office in 2017 and the Employment Law Section in 2020. He now defends state agency clients against employment law claims before federal and state forums, as well as administrative bodies.
Before joining the Employment Law Section, Jared worked in the Charitable Law Section leading a team of investigators, accountants and examiners in probes of nonprofit organizations. Many of these cases resulted in litigation involving high profile charities, including ones run by former professional athletes and known philanthropists.
Jared also has taken on matters by special assignment, including successfully defending the Board of Pharmacy in multiday hearings over Ohio’s medical-marijuana dispensary application process.
In the Ohio Attorney General’s mock trial competition, held each November, Jared has served as a coach for The Ohio State University team.
He has extensive litigation and trial experience before juries in both federal and state courts. Before his time at the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, Jared worked in private practice for a boutique firm specializing in financial-services-industry, trade-secret and commercial-contract litigation. Clients included broker-dealers, investment banks, middle market private equity firms, REITs and life insurance companies. Matters occurred in federal courts across the U.S. and before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Jared also has served as an assistant prosecuting attorney on felony cases, involved from the inception of the investigation all the way to the jury trial. During his time in private practice, he was appointed as a special prosecutor to oversee conflict cases.
In addition to his work as an attorney, Jared has taught courses in both business law and business ethics at Marietta College. He has served as Secretary and Vice President of the Washington County Bar Association.
