Ryan McGinley-Stempel joins the Renne Public Law Group (RPLG) team as its newest Associate. Mr. McGinley-Stempel is skilled in litigating constitutional and statutory issues involving education law, employment law, class actions, free speech, preemption, professional responsibility, and religious discrimination.

Prior to joining RPLG, Mr. McGinley-Stempel was an associate at Gibson Dunn.

Before joining Gibson Dunn, Mr. McGinley-Stempel clerked for a Federal District Court judge, as well as for the 10th Circuit and the California Supreme Court.

“I am beyond thrilled to join the RPLG team,” said Mr. McGinley-Stempel. “Like myself, the firm is passionate about empowering policy makers to strengthen and preserve public services. I am looking forward to working closely with my new colleagues in tackling relevant issues in City Council chambers throughout the state.”
