Mr. Walder is a seasoned class-action litigator with extensive experience representing consumers in complex litigation across the United States. He brings over a decade of civil litigation expertise to R23 Law, with a focus on complex consumer disputes. Mr. Walder leverages his deep litigation background to advocate for clients who have been harmed by fraud, unfair practices, or corporate misconduct — whether through individual lawsuits, class actions, or pre-litigation resolution strategies.

Previous to joining R23 Law, Mr. Walder served as a senior litigator at a leading plaintiff’s class-action firm, where he led employment class actions and supervised junior attorneys. He also has extensive experience in legal malpractice and high-stakes business litigation matters—spanning commercial disputes, securities, intellectual property, real estate, and consumer protection matters in both state and federal courts. Jared also clerked for U.S. Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle III in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, gaining valuable judicial insight into federal motion practice and case adjudication.

Mr. Walder holds a J.D. from Vanderbilt University Law School, where he graduated at the top of his class and earned the Scholastic Excellence Award. He also earned a Master’s in Economics from the University of Michigan, completing the two-year program in just ten months, and a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from University of California San Diego with Department and Provost’s Honors. Before law school, he worked as a software engineer designing integrated operations databases and developing advanced algorithms—experience that now informs his technical approach to legal problem-solving.

Mr. Walder is based in R23 Law’s Los Angeles office. Outside the courtroom, he enjoys discussing economics, exploring L.A.’s food scene, and relaxing with his family. He brings to R23 Law not only intellectual rigor and legal precision, but also a practical sense of strategy and a deep commitment to servicing client.
