JASON WEINTRAUB

(Maryland)

I will be a tireless advocate for my clients and work as hard as possible to help them accomplish their goals.

Jason is a member of the Firm's Government Relations Team, bringing more than 10 years of outstanding experience working with officials in Maryland government.

Prior to joining the Firm, Jason served as a trusted, strategic advisor to Speaker Adrienne A. Jones and to her predecessor, Speaker Michael E. Busch, with whom he developed a deep understanding of the legislative process at the highest level.

Serving as Senior Legislative Counsel from 2012 to 2020, Jason worked with the Speaker and House of Delegates' leadership on a broad array of complex and substantive legislation, with a focus on tax, gaming, procurement, energy, business and economic development issues. He was one of a select few staff that helped manage legislation on the floor of the House.

Jason is known for his thoughtful approach to solving complicated legislative issues and maintains strong relationships among the legislative and executive branches of government. He has worked closely with trade associations of banks, residential rental property owners, thoroughbred horsemen, builders, insurers, and energy, health care and cannabis companies.

Over the years, Jason has provided strategic legal and political advice on a number of high-profile pieces of legislation, including the Racing and Community Development Act of 2020 and multiple statewide frameworks for gaming expansion. He has drafted significant portions of the tax code and has a deep understanding of the State's business tax credit and incentive programs. In his role as Senior Legislative Counsel, Jason worked closely with legislative leadership and their staffs, while maintaining close working relationships with senior staff in the Senate of Maryland and Governor's Office, as well.

Prior to joining the Speaker's staff, Jason spent four years working as a nonpartisan attorney for the Department of Legislative Services, including two as Counsel to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Jason is admitted to the Maryland Bar.

He is general counsel to the Maryland Bankers Association and is Maryland local counsel to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America. He is closely involved in legislative and regulatory issues affecting banks, health care organizations and insurance-related entities. Bob also represents a wide range of other business interests before the Maryland General Assembly and State and local government agencies, including transportation companies, manufacturers, insurance companies, and associations of landlords, debt collectors and horsemen.

Bob represents clients in their dealings with State and local government legislative and regulatory bodies, including cases involving administrative hearings at all levels, with an emphasis on the resolution of issues before the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, the Maryland Insurance Administration, and the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Bob's longstanding relationships formed through years of hard work with government officials throughout Maryland allow him to achieve unparalleled success for his clients. In an article on Maryland lobbyists, The Gazette newspaper said, "Enten is consistently in the top tier of Annapolis lobbyists. He is known for his relentless advocacy serving a broad client portfolio."

After Bob was named by Best Lawyers of America as the 2022 "Lawyer of the Year" in Government Relations Law in Baltimore, Center Maryland in its podcast titled "The Lobby" featured Bob and his successful, decades-long career in state politics.
