He highlights the deep sense of pride and motivation that comes from working alongside skilled colleagues across the firm to achieve clients’ goals. For Bryant, transactional practice isn’t just about executing deals—it’s about the collective effort and shared success that define a strong legal team.

I think the other thing that I really like about transactional work is, again, I mentioned this a little bit before, it gives you the opportunity to work with everybody in our firm. It is really remarkable to be at a place where you have so many great colleagues that you get to work with to advance a client's goal. That, in and of itself, is super rewarding and then fills you with pride for the place that you are working at, who your partners are, who your colleagues are, and just being able to rely on these folks who, without them, we would not be able to accomplish the client's goals. That is really rewarding as well, and energizing to know that I am at a great firm that will always, as a group, come together to get the deal done.
