When Bryce Loveland enrolled at UNLV’s Boyd School of Law 17 years ago, he wasn’t even sure he wanted to be an attorney.
“No one in my family had gone to law school, but I knew Boyd would provide a solid education that would help me in whatever career path I decided on,” Loveland said. “Ultimately, I chose to become an attorney to help people solve complex problems.”
Loveland now provides strategic direction to the school’s professional development fellowship program, in conjunction with the diversity committee of the Nevada State Bar.
As a shareholder at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, Loveland predominantly works with nonprofit multiemployer and local governmental fringe benefit trust funds to help provide quality health care and solid pensions, along with vacation money and apprentice training to thousands of hardworking Nevadans and their families in various trades and crafts.
Loveland has been instrumental in drafting legislation to open no-cost health clinics that provide quality primary medical care services, with little to no wait times, same-day appointments and more time with the provider.
As a father of a disabled child, Loveland is passionate about advocating for those in need. He serves as the board chair of Nevada PEP, which helps thousands of families with children with disabilities statewide. He also serves as coordinator of the firm’s pro bono committee and personally provides more than 50 hours of pro bono service each year through the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and the Office of Military Legal Assistance.
“Perhaps my best days are those when I get to work with pro bono clients, including active duty and retired veterans, and abused and neglected children in the foster system,” Loveland said. “Hearing the words ‘thank you’ from them after I’ve been able to help them with their problems is very rewarding.”
