Bryan P. Werley is a shareholder at Zarwin Baum, concentrating his practice on matters of particular importance as one of the firm’s leaders in its employment and professional liability practice areas. He specializes in complex litigation defending our clients in employment litigation, employment counseling, trucking, construction, mass transit, products, premises, and professional liability matters. Mr. Werley has gained extensive trial experience throughout his nearly 20 years of practicing law and has sat first chair in both state and federal courts in significant cases. He has represented Fortune 100 companies, closely held companies, and individuals.
Although Mr. Werley also handles a variety of high value general liability matters, he takes particular pride in being considered a “lawyer’s lawyer” representing and defending professionals, including lawyers, architects, and other professionals in matters involving allegations of professional liability. A focus of Mr. Werley’s practice has been the zealous and mindful defense of professionals across a spectrum of industries and fields. On every matter, he takes pains and meticulous measures to understand his client’s areas of concentration and to prepare a defense mindful of the unique concerns they have when it comes to their professional practices.
Bryan lectures his fellow colleagues with respect to federal practice, having moderated a panel at the 2011 Federal Bench/Bar conference and presented a course, together with fellow attorneys and members of the judiciary, titled “My First Federal Jury Trial,” a primer CLE course designed to help younger lawyers prepare for their first trial. Bryan was selected to the Rising Star, a distinction given by Philadelphia Magazine to only the top 2.5% of lawyers under the age of forty.
In his practice, he defends his clients against claims for serious injuries and catastrophic loss in a wide range of industries. He defends employers and professional employer organizations in claims involving civil rights, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters in state and federal courts and on appeal. He handles a variety of matters involving serious injury and death occurring in connection with transportation, trucking, construction, demolition, premises liability, and the use or misuse of consumer products. Although he values and tries to resolve cases early in their life, he is ever conscious that many cases will go to trial and prepares them accordingly.
