Jered Ede is an attorney at Clare Locke. His litigation practice has included media liability, fraud, financial services and commercial disputes. He previously served as chief legal officer of Project Veritas. He is a partner in the firm's Orlando office and holds degrees from Johns Hopkins University and Chapman University School of Law.
