For Ryann, there's nothing better than advocating for a client. An experienced litigator, she's passionate about winning cases, both in and out of the courtroom.
Ryann has focused on civil litigation throughout her legal career, and she has spent extensive time in the courtroom or preparing for trial. She finds great satisfaction in protecting and defending clients and their businesses, and she endeavors to fully evaluate all opportunities for resolution in order to minimize the impact litigation can have on a client's business.
It's these businesses that make up the other highlight of her job: Ryann focuses her practice on food and agriculture companies, and these are industries she knows and loves. Ryann's love of agriculture stems from being raised on her family's Iowa farm. Her family continues to be involved in the industry, making agricultural concerns a topic of discussion and interest in her daily life. Ryann prides herself on "speaking the client's language" on agricultural topics. She enjoys delving further into their businesses and makes it a priority to learn and understand their unique business goals and needs. Ryann especially values opportunities for hands-on experience with clients' work or visits to their facilities.
While Ryann handles a wide variety of commercial litigation for food and agriculture companies, she also provides clients with legal advice surrounding food regulatory laws. She has a special interest in the organic products industry and works with organic certification issues.
