Twice Named One of the ‘100 Most Influential Attorneys in America,’ Bryant will lead the Title IX team and help the firm become the country’s most forward-thinking, purpose-driven law firm
MALIBU – Clarkson Law Firm, the public interest powerhouse, today announced Arthur Bryant has joined the firm as a Partner and will lead the firm’s Title IX practice.
Bryant, who spent 35 years building Public Justice, is the nation’s leading Title IX attorney and a trailblazer in public interest law. He served as lead trial counsel in the first Title IX case ever tried against a university for discriminating against its women athletes and has won cutting-edge lawsuits in a wide range of areas. He has successfully represented more female and male student-athletes in Title IX litigation against schools and universities than any lawyer in the country.
“Arthur’s extraordinary experience in impact litigation and unparalleled knowledge of Title IX makes him an exceptional addition to our firm and a timely one given all the recent headlines surrounding Title IX,” said Ryan Clarkson, managing partner of Clarkson. “Throughout his 40-year career, Arthur has established precedents in constitutional law, consumer protection, class actions, and civil rights, while building Public Justice into one of the most successful and respected public interest law firms in the country. We look forward to Arthur’s immediate and long-term contributions to our firm.”
Twice named one of the “100 Most Influential Attorneys in America” by the National Law Journal, Arthur is the former Chairman and Executive Director of Public Justice and a former Partner at Bailey & Glasser. In addition to his Title IX work, he has won landmark public interest cases nationwide and recently helped challenge Meta’s attempt to shield itself from liability for its role in deepfake scam ads. Arthur brings over four decades of experience fighting for plaintiffs’ rights to Clarkson.
“I am incredibly excited to be joining Clarkson,” said Bryant. “From its sexual assault litigation to its AI and data privacy cases, the firm has been at the forefront of some of the most notable cases in the country. It has a unique culture that places the protection of society’s underdogs at the center of its work. Between its lawsuits and culture, Clarkson is the next big wave in public interest law. I am proud to be a part of it.”
Arthur received his J.D. from Harvard Law School and his A.B. from Swarthmore College.
