Bryan concentrates his practice on government and internal investigations, complex commercial litigation, and regulatory matters, with an emphasis on securities enforcement. He advises clients in the financial services, retail, digital marketing, and energy sectors, among others.
Bryan has considerable experience representing broker-dealers, investment advisers, and registered representatives in all phases of SEC investigations, state securities regulator investigations, and FINRA investigations. He was a key member of the team advising a national broker-dealer in administrative proceedings related to the first enforcement action of the Massachusetts fiduciary duty rule. Bryan also regularly represents clients in FINRA arbitration proceedings and second-chaired a two-week arbitration in 2023 that resulted in a favorable settlement for his client and avoided any collateral consequences.

Bryan combines his years of experience as a prosecutor and defense-side litigator to craft creative investigatory strategies for his clients.
In addition, Bryan handles a broad range of litigation matters in a variety of federal and state venues relating to breaches of contract and fiduciary duty claims, employee poaching disputes, allegations of discrimination, and Employee Retirement Income Security Act matters.
Bryan maintains an active pro bono practice. He has represented immigrants in asylum proceedings, low-income individuals and families facing eviction from public housing, and individuals involved in administrative proceedings before the Social Security Administration.
