Jason S. Miyares is a Partner at Torridon, a Washington, D.C. based law firm and consulting group. As of 2026, he also serves as the Honorary Chairman of the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce (AmFree). Prior to joining Torridon, he served as the 48th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia from 2022 to 2026, becoming the first Latino-American, and specifically the first Cuban-American, elected to statewide office in Virginia. As the Commonwealth’s chief legal officer, he led the Office of the Attorney General and represented the interests of more than eight million Virginians.
At Torridon, Miyares’s legal and consulting practice focuses on delivering innovative solutions to the complex regulatory, litigation, and strategic challenges facing 21st-century businesses, nonprofits, and government entities while drawing on his experience as a state’s chief legal officer to advise clients navigating high-stakes matters before federal agencies, in multistate litigation, and in the public policy arena.
In 2021, Virginians elected Jason Miyares to serve as Attorney General of Virginia. While leading the Commonwealth’s largest public law office, he directed a staff of over 700 employees and made national headlines in major legal actions involving corporate misconduct, multistate consumer protection, and constitutional litigation, while continuing to represent the Commonwealth in state and federal courts. He also refocused and expanded the Office’s work on behalf of survivors and victims of crime, increasing both services and funding to support those most in need.
During his tenure, Virginia recorded a 30% reduction in murders and a double-digit decline in overall violent crime, coinciding with the launch of Ceasefire Virginia, a focused public-safety strategy that brought together state and federal law enforcement to target repeat violent offenders and direct resources into the communities most affected by crime.
Miyares also made confronting the opioid and fentanyl crisis a central priority, taking office at a time when Virginia had suffered the most addiction deaths in the state’s history. As Attorney General, he secured more than $1.2 billion in opioid settlements for prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts. Miyares spearheaded Virginia’s One Pill Can Kill initiative to combat fentanyl trafficking and educate the public, helping drive a 46.7% reduction in fatal fentanyl overdoses statewide—the largest reduction in addiction deaths of any state in the nation. He also established the Elder Abuse Investigation Center for Central Virginia to improve coordination among law enforcement and prosecutors in protecting vulnerable seniors.
Miyares served early in his legal career as a prosecutor, as Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach. In 2015, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, where he served three terms. During his tenure in the General Assembly, he served on the Courts of Justice, General Laws, and Transportation Committees and built a reputation for his work on criminal law, constitutional issues, and government accountability.
Miyares’s time in public service has been recognized by numerous entities, including the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, The Leadership Institute, The Safe House Project, the Hampton Roads Military Officers Association of America, and in 2022 he was awarded the “Key to the City” of Miami-Dade, Florida. He has been named to the “Inside Business Power List,” the Virginia Business “Virginia 500 Power List” and has been named by Northern Virginia Magazine as one of the “50 Most Influential People in Northern Virginia.”
In addition to serving in his role as Honorary Chairman of the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, he currently serves on the U.S. Advisory Board of the Combatting Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and as a senior strategic advisor to the Freedom Foundation.
Miyares is a proud husband and father of three, and a passionate defender of the American Miracle, grounded in a belief that the rule of law is the foundation of both liberty and democratic governance, committed to protecting it for future generations.
