About Daniel
Biography
After a decade in corporate practice, I hung a shingle to provide tailored legal services to businesses and individuals facing complex international legal issues. I have particular experience in commercial contract negotiation and dispute resolution, M&A transactions, joint ventures, business restructuring, and international family and probate issues.
My experience includes living for 12 years in Japan as a student and legal professional, in-house positions at Japanese and American companies, and practicing as a corporate lawyer in the Washington and Tokyo offices of one of the world's largest law firms. In these roles, I helped facilitate business deals in countries around the world, including Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Myanmar, Oman, Panama, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, and Thailand.
