Ryan Law

What Ryan Law does

Ryan Law, P.A. is a Florida-based boutique law firm founded in 2009 by two former Holland & Knight LLP partners, Cynthia Brennan Ryan and Rory C. Ryan. The firm operates through three integrated practice areas: Commercial Litigation, Employment Law, and Environmental Law, serving sophisticated enterprise and government clients including Fortune 250 companies, national corporations, municipal governments, healthcare systems, and public utilities. It positions itself as an alternative to BigLaw, offering partner-level attorney involvement on every matter, proactive communication, and budget transparency.

The firm monetizes through alternative fee arrangements rather than traditional billable hours, supplemented by a 'No Expense Pass-Through' policy that eliminates routine cost pass-throughs (long-distance calls, fax, copying). Its underlying technology stack is built on established legal practice management software, including AD Summation WebBlaze and iBlaze for litigation support, PracticeMaster with Tab3 Billing Software and Tabs3 Financial Software, Serengeti Legal Tracker, WestLaw and Fastcase for legal research, SAP Crystal Reports, and Microsoft Office - recognized by Law Technology News as the top software product in the legal industry. The firm layers a collaborative client file platform with security-aware access controls and remote file access over this stack.

Ryan Law acquires clients through professional reputation, peer referrals, and direct engagement rather than intermediaries, with marketing driven by earned media, industry awards (Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Florida Legal Elite, U.S. News Tier 1, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent), and a content blog. The firm is independently owned by its founding partners, has no external investment or parent company, and operates exclusively on a Florida statewide basis with a single Oviedo/Winter Springs office. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm has not pursued acquisitions, mergers, or significant geographic expansion.
