Jared Schwass is a corporate and regulatory attorney based in California who advises businesses operating in highly regulated industries.

With experience in both private practice and government, Jared offers clients a practical understanding of the legal and regulatory issues affecting regulated businesses. Before joining Harris Sliwoski, he served as lead California regulatory counsel at a top Am Law 100 firm, where he advised some of the nation's largest cannabis companies on licensing, compliance, land use, enforcement matters, and regulatory due diligence for mergers and acquisitions. He has worked on transactions representing billions of dollars in aggregate cannabis industry deal value.
His government experience includes serving as Deputy County Counsel for Mendocino County, where he advised on the development, interpretation, and implementation of local cannabis regulations. That role provided firsthand insight into how regulatory agencies develop policy, evaluate compliance, and administer licensing programs.
