Tom Haren

Tom has represented cannabis clients since 2016, helping them with innumerable legal issues, including public policy, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, contract negotiations, risk management, litigation and other day-to-day business issues. Tom has led some of the largest M&A transactions in Ohio’s cannabis market, representing both selling license holders and acquiring entities. As a result, Tom has become one of the most sought after attorneys serving the Ohio and national cannabis industry. That’s why, when the industry needed an advocate, he was chosen as the spokesperson for Ohio’s successful adult use legalization campaign. In addition to his policy and legal work, Tom serves as the chair of Frantz Ward’s Cannabis Law and Policy practice and he was also named to the firm’s Management Committee in January 2024.
