About Ryan R.
Ryan R. Bradley practices law in Illinois and holds federal admissions that include the Seventh Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. His path to the bar began with a business degree, continued through two law programs, and culminated in a J.D. earned in the mid-2000s. He has combined courtroom work, business roles and classroom teaching over a career that moves between practice and instruction.
Bradley received a B.A. in Business Administration from Loyola College in 1999. He undertook further legal study at the University of Richmond School of Law in 2003 and completed his J.D. at Vermont Law School in 2006. Those academic years framed an interest in business law and regulatory matters that appears in his later positions.
After law school he established a mix of private- and public-facing roles. In 2008 he served as vice president at Strategic Capital Trust Company, a position that placed him in the financial services world and exposed him to trust and securities matters. He also pursued securities credentials, obtaining a Series 65 certification through the North American Securities Administrators Association. Parallel to that business work, Bradley moved into teaching. He has been an adjunct professor of business law at Richland Community College in 2010 and later at Parkland College in 2015, bringing practical legal perspectives into classrooms.
On the professional membership side, Bradley has been part of the Illinois Bar Association and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association since 2006. He joined the American Association for Justice in 2009 and remains involved. Those memberships reflect ongoing ties to litigation practice and professional development in trial and civil matters.
Court admissions list Illinois state courts, the Seventh Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court, enabling him to appear on multiple appellate levels. His combined experience in finance, regulatory exams, and classroom instruction gives him a profile that crosses business law, securities questions and trial practice. Colleagues describe him as practical and straightforward in handling procedural and substantive challenges.
He has balanced roles in-house, in the classroom and in court over two decades. Today he practices law in Illinois, handling business law, securities-related issues and litigation matters.
