We are proud to announce that BMD Partner and Labor & Employment Co-Chair Bryan Meek has been named to Crain's Cleveland Business 2024 40 Under 40 list!

Bryan has been with BMD for nearly a decade, starting as a law clerk while attending the University of Akron School of Law. After earning his degree, he became one of the youngest attorneys to be promoted to Partner at BMD.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Bryan saw a need to keep his clients informed, which inspired him to launch the Employment Law After Hours podcast. With over 1,400 subscribers, Bryan has produced more than 50 episodes, delivering insightful and engaging discussions on a wide range of legal topics.  

As Bryan shares, "The law is complex and nuanced, but there isn't a reason why lawyers can't make it approachable and easy to understand."
