About Daniel
Biography
Daniel J. Quigley earned his B.S. in Business Administration with High Distinction from the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management in 1982 and his Juris Doctor cum laude from the Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law in Chicago in 1986.
Dan’s practice has focused on representing businesses and governmental entities in complex litigation matters (including antitrust, loan enforcement, contract disputes, and regulatory matters), complex business transactions (including asset and corporate acquisitions and dispositions, the origination and workout of large construction, real estate, and commercial loans), often representing technology based companies, and intellectual property matters (including software licensing, protection of trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights, and research, development, marketing, and confidentiality agreements). A substantial portion of Dan’s practice has involved representing Indian tribes, including in matters relating to gaming, real estate, contracts, construction and financing, water, tort claims, and elections, including both transactional matters and litigation in the federal, state, and tribal courts.
Dan has been awarded an “AV” Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell.
Dan has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America since 2005, and now is listed by Best Lawyers for his work in Commercial Litigation, Information Technology Law, Technology Law, Gaming Law, and Native American Law. Dan was selected by Best Lawyers as the “Lawyer of the Year” for Native American Law in Tucson for 2019 and again for 2021 and 2025. Dan also was included in the 2007 and 2011- 2025 editions of Southwest Super Lawyers for business litigation.
Dan is a Senior Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America, an honorary society of trial lawyers recognizing less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers based upon effectiveness and accomplishment in litigation at the trial and appellate levels.
Dan formerly was a partner with Brown & Bain, P.A. (now Perkins Coie), Quigley & Whitehill, PLC, and Rusing Lopez & Lizardi, PLLC. From 2003 - 2013, Dan also served as General Counsel to the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, which operates the Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment in Arizona.
