Bryan’s practice focuses on complex business disputes. He joined SHJ after two terms as a judicial law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas: first with the Honorable Magistrate Judge Peter Bray, then with the Honorable Judge George C. Hanks Jr. In his clerkship for Judge Hanks, Bryan managed roughly half of the court’s docket—more than 100 cases—in one of the top five busiest districts in the country. He also drafted memoranda, orders, and jury instructions in three jury trials involving premises liability, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and civil rights.

Previously, Bryan was an associate in King & Spalding’s Trial and Global Disputes group, where he focused on class action defense, consumer credit reporting, data security, construction, employment/non-compete, and complex commercial disputes. He also maintained a robust pro bono practice, which afforded him opportunities to first chair a fact witness deposition and defend an expert witness deposition.

Bryan is passionate about supporting the LGBTQ community through pro bono work. During law school, he served as a national LGBT bar liaison for OUTLaw, the University of Texas School of Law’s LGBTQ student association, and founded the school’s Trans Name and Gender Marker Project (now “Gender Affirmation Project”).
