Called to the Alberta Bar in 2008, Ryan made the move to BC in 2019, where he acted as General Counsel for a construction and development company based in Chilliwack. In 2021, Ryan moved to Vancouver and joined Kovacs & Norell, focusing on Insurance Defence and Construction Litigation.

Having focused mainly in the Construction Law sector prior to joining Kovacs & Norell, Ryan appeared at all levels of the (then) Court of Queen’s Bench, and represented clients before Administrative Boards, Municipal Tribunals, and Subdivision & Development Appeal Boards across Alberta.

Since joining Kovacs & Norell, Ryan’s focus has been in Insurance Defence and general litigation as a trial lawyer. Ryan gravitates towards complex and “High Risk” litigation files that involve multi-week trials and heavily contested future damages awards.

When not at his desk, Ryan enjoys downhill mountain biking, golf, dirt-biking, and spending time with his family outdoors.
