Ryan is a 2024 articling student at BLG’s Vancouver office.

At school, Ryan tutored Contracts and Constitutional Law to first-year students, and served on the law school’s elected student government. Prior to attending law school, Ryan worked at the family holding company of one of B.C.’s leading entrepreneurs, where he led philanthropic and public engagement initiatives. He has held roles across business, government, and non-profit enterprises.

Ryan chose BLG because of the enthusiasm he felt in its members and for its breadth of practice areas. He appreciates how much BLG invests its resources in its students’ growth.

In his spare time, Ryan enjoys cooking, walking the Stanley Park Seawall and Arbutus Greenway, and doing an occasional solo trip on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
