Partner

Dan has significant experience representing individuals and entities in high-stakes cases and investigations.  In his civil practice, Dan has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in multi-million-dollar disputes, and has handled matters involving securities and derivative litigation, antitrust, contract disputes, business torts, and other complex commercial matters.  In his white collar and regulatory defense practice, Dan has represented clients in matters involving financial and securities fraud, market manipulation, tax offenses, antitrust violations, RICO charges, sanctions violations, allegations of public corruption, and healthcare offenses. Dan has developed a strong track record of achieving outstanding results for his clients, ranging from securing favorable settlements in civil actions, to successfully persuading the government not to file charges or an enforcement action in the first place, to winning for his clients at trial.  For example, Dan’s client, a former executive at JPMorgan, was fully acquitted of fraud, market manipulation, racketeering, and spoofing after a highly publicized, five-week trial in federal court in Chicago. Dan graduated cum laude from New York University School of Law where he was a Robert McKay Scholar and graduated cum laude from Duke University.  Prior to joining Bienert Katzman Littrell Williams LLP, Dan was a partner at Petrillo Klein & Boxer LLP, a New York City-based litigation boutique.
