About Ryan
Biography
I am an experienced employment and labor law attorney and a passionate advocate for working people who have suffered discrimination in the workplace. I counsel and represent clients in matters relating to sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and whistleblower actions, wrongful termination, employee benefits, overtime and wage and hour concerns, and employment agreements.
Before joining Willig, Williams & Davidson, I was the Assistant Chief Counsel for the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, the Commonwealth’s civil rights enforcement agency. As Assistant Chief Counsel, I successfully litigated a wide range of discrimination matters including claims based upon sexual orientation, religious accommodation, disability, race, sex, and denial of employment based on a criminal record.
I also co-founded and I am the current Board Chair of the Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity.
