Ryan is the founder and managing partner of Clarkson. Motivated by a desire to deliver justice for the underserved, the underprivileged, and the underdog, Ryan has prosecuted hundreds of consumer class actions involving defective pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices, illegal employment practices, securities violations, cosmetics mislabeling, food misbranding, data breaches, and insurance carrier bad faith. He was the first attorney in the United States to pursue justice for victims of fluoroquinolone antibiotics who suffered permanent and disabling nerve damage. A force for accountability in how big corporations label, advertise, and market consumer goods, Ryan recently obtained the largest ever slack-fill settlement in U.S. history.
