“Unclaimed property has become a revenue-generating target for state governments, and the states are aggressively enforcing their laws,” said Mr. Healy. “I am tremendously honored to join an industry-leading Firm like Ryan to help their clients identify and quantify unclaimed properties that are potentially reducing their profitability. I look forward to supporting the rapid growth of both the Unclaimed Property Practice and the Firm as a whole.”
