Taft, one of the fastest-growing law firms in the nation, announced today that partner Bryan Reyhani has joined the firm's growing FinTech practice. He represents the fourth FinTech partner to join Taft since the spring as the firm builds out the practice.
Industry veterans Richard B. Levin, the new chair of Taft's FinTech practice, and FinTech partner Bobby Wenner, arrived in April with plans to significantly expand Taft's national presence at the intersection of financial services and technology. In July, Taft welcomed leading FinTech and Financial Services partner Sean Ruff to its Washington, D.C. office.
Building on this expertise, Reyhani has guided clients through the evolving FinTech and cryptocurrency landscape since 2013. He assists companies and investors with regulatory compliance, token structures, securities analysis, and emerging technology risks. His practice also includes corporate governance, securities compliance, commercial transactions, FinTech regulation, and dispute resolution.
"It's exciting to join a FinTech practice – and a firm – with such great momentum in the market," said Bryan Reyhani. "Taft's growing national platform provides a strong springboard to help clients navigate today's complex business challenges as technology and regulatory changes combine to reshape the financial marketplace."
"Bryan is another great addition as we continue to grow our FinTech practice with proven leaders who work at the forefront of this dynamic industry," said Taft's Firmwide Chairman and Managing Partner, Robert J. Hicks. "We remain in the first phase of growing this practice and we are actively exploring more opportunities to add strength to our FinTech capabilities."
"We are focused on recruiting and building a top-tier practice at Taft, and Bryan is the latest example of our commitment," said Levin, the chair of Taft's FinTech practice. "Bryan is an industry veteran whose extensive legal, cryptocurrency, and business expertise will be invaluable to our clients as they navigate the rapidly evolving FinTech landscape."
Reyhani brings a multifaceted approach to client matters through his experience as an attorney, entrepreneur, public company board member, and strategic advisor. This varied background enables him to serve as outside general counsel, addressing complex business challenges with practical, efficient solutions. His securities industry expertise and regulatory experience are also key when working with institutional investors and financial services clients.
With the addition of Reyhani, Taft continues to grow quickly through mergers and strategic lateral hires. In August, Taft announced its merger with Morris, Manning & Martin, a highly regarded firm with offices in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., which will add 100-plus lawyers when the deal closes on December 31, 2025 and mark Taft's entrance into Atlanta. Already this year, Taft has increased its headcount by more than 220 lawyers across the country, strengthening its position as a super middle-market firm with a unique national platform.
