Chambers UK 2023 reconfirms his ranking as an ‘Up and Coming’ solicitor, with a source commenting he “is tenacious and has a very good knowledge of the law,” while another notes he “is good at handling a complex caseload; he is unflappable, prepared for anything and is a wise head.” Chambers UK 2022 identified him as “a highly competent practitioner” who “ has the knack of not only getting to the heart of the case but is also very cool under fire”, further praising him for being “extremely astute, with fine instincts and a talent for forensic analysis”.
Chambers HNW 2022 commends Bryan as “hard working and extraordinarily diligent… so thorough, client-friendly and goes above and beyond.” The guide also recognises that “he is extremely numerate, he comes up with great solutions to problems and he’s also extremely clever.”
The Legal 500 UK 2021 praised him as a “rising star”. The Guide further noted that “having learned at the feet of Frances Hughes, he is now handling very big cases himself”.
