Ryan Melvin

Brabners LLP

Specialisms

Legal - Corporate

Region

Liverpool

I have a little girl and twin boys (who like to keep me active).

Interests include keeping fit (including thai boxing, boxing and any other physical sport that I can take part in), being outdoors with my kids and playing the outrageous games that they manage to invent, the occasional game of golf going to see a good movie with my fiancé.

I enjoy almost all movies but I must admit that I am a bit of an easy scare when it comes to horror movies. I also don’t have a favourite music but enjoy most music as long as it is a catchy tune.

I qualified as a solicitor in 2017 and joined Brabners in 2019. I work within the corporate department in our Liverpool office and my specialisms are corporate transactions with a particular focus on industries within the healthcare sector (including pharmacy and dental)
