Matthew Schwandt Selected for Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Leadership Minnesota Program

Maslon is pleased to announce that Matthew Schwandt, an attorney in the Corporate & Securities Group, has been selected for the 2025-2026 Leadership Minnesota Program of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. Leadership Minnesota is an exclusive program in which participants get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes our state’s economy tick and learn how public policy crafted at the Capitol impacts the vitality of Minnesota companies.

"As a business owner myself, I’ve experienced firsthand the complexities and opportunities that come with launching, growing, and sustaining a company in Minnesota,” Matt said. “I'm eager to deepen my understanding of the broader economic landscape and to learn how other businesses across the state are adapting and thriving."

Matt is an accomplished attorney and seasoned entrepreneur who returned to private practice after a decade of successfully running his own business. As the principal co-founder and board chair of Bauhaus Brew Labs, Matt has personally walked in the shoes of business owners and has overcome many of the same challenges. He has a proven track record of founding, developing, and expanding a small business, and his experience honed his capabilities in business finance, commercial transactions, strategic planning, and regulatory issues.

Matt assists clients with corporate formation and governance issues; securities offerings for closely held businesses; commercial contracts, including purchase agreements, sales and distribution contracts, and lending instruments; and general outside counsel services, particularly on compliance issues and regulatory considerations for food, beverage, and emerging cannabis businesses in Minnesota.
