Bryan initially practiced as an Associate and later as a Partner with the law firm of Hyde Pollit & Arnold; splitting his practice between residential, corporate and commercial law on the one hand and labour law on the other hand, where he acted for a number of prominent unions in Ontario.

Bryan later practiced with the City of Toronto where he was actively involved in the Toronto Economic Development Corporation (TEDCO) and helped to negotiate and document the purchase of the Harbour Commission lands on the Toronto waterfront, the target of Toronto's current waterfront revitalization.

After practicing with the City of Toronto, Bryan returned to private practice and eventually formed the law firm of Hackett Simpson Thurston (now Hackett Simpson Tripodi LLP).

The majority of his clients are commercial, industrial and residential landlords who have been with Bryan since the 1980's.
