Bryce Rucker Selected to Michigan Lawyers Weekly Up & Coming Lawyers Class of 2022

Dykema, a leading national law firm, announced today that Bryce Rucker was selected for Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s “Up & Coming Lawyers” Class of 2022. Bryce will be featured in a special section of Michigan Lawyers Weekly on April 18, 2022. In addition, honorees will be recognized at an awards ceremony on April 8, 2022.

According to Michigan Lawyers Weekly, Up & Coming honorees have excelled in the legal profession and standout among peers during their first 10 years of practice. Further, the publication states that those selected are “establishing themselves as future leaders through their ambition and accomplishments, and their drive and dedication to the practice of law.”

Rucker assists clients in the areas of product liability, business and commercial, auto negligence, breach of warranty, premises liability, and asbestos litigation. He predominantly focuses his practice in the area of automotive product liability: most notable, involving airbag, automotive crashworthiness, stability, as well as battery and post-collision fuel-fed fire defect claims. Rucker represents manufacturing clients in high-exposure automotive supplier disputes and warranty cost-recovery matters, involving an array of design and manufacturing defects. He works closely with client’s business and engineering functions to learn technically-complex issues and to distill and present those issues with clarity for clients, judges, mediators, and juries.

Outside of his practice, Rucker serves on the ICLE Litigation Advisory Board, as well as pro bono counsel and board member for New Level Sports Ministries in Battle Creek, Michigan. He is an ardent supporter and contributor to the Wolverine Bar Association Summer Clerkship Program, which helps first-year law students gain training and mentorship at Detroit Metropolitan area law firms and corporate legal departments. He is also a member of Detroit Economic Club, Young Leaders and a valued member of Dykema’s Recruiting Committee, Associate Committee, and Diversity and Inclusion Board’s Subcommittee on Retention.

Bryce earned a J.D. from the University of Notre Dame Law School and a B.B.A., magna cum laude, from Northwood University.
