About Ryan
Ryan is an Of Counsel who recently joined our Corporate, Commercial and M&A Department. Ryan has over ten years' qualified experience. Ryan works on the full suite of corporate transactions including mergers and acquisitions, investments, corporate governance, complex and contentious corporate matters, joint venture and shareholders' agreements, partnership agreements, group reorganisations, general company law queries (e.g. use of SAP, capital reductions and mergers by absorptions and conversions) and commercial agreements.
Ryan's approach and work style when liaising with clients and colleagues is friendly, refreshing and collegiate. Leveraging his valuable experience and the excellent regard he has in the legal industry has been very beneficial to the supervision of more junior colleagues and to getting deals done.
