Before joining the firm, Bryan was a law clerk to the Honorable Jill A. Pryor of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. He graduated from Stanford Law School, where he co-authored multiple briefs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court as a member of the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. While serving as a Student Director of the Worker’s Rights Project, he successfully represented a discharged employee in an administrative proceeding, in which he conducted witness examinations and delivered a closing argument to an administrative law judge.

Representative matters
  • Represented an internationally renowned psychiatrist and owner of neuropsychiatric instruments used in the diagnosis and treatment of serious mental health disorders in litigation regarding the licensing of the rights to develop and commercialize digital versions of the instruments. After two years of litigation in multiple federal courts, Zuckerman Spaeder secured a favorable settlement that clarified the parties’ respective rights under the license, while avoiding any payment to the plaintiff.

  • Authored an amicus brief on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (“NACDL”) filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The NACDL brief argued that a former public official did not waive his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination at a civil trial by testifying at an earlier deposition in the same case; the Sixth Circuit agreed and vacated the District Court’s order.
