Practice Areas

Daniel’s principal areas of practice are capital markets and securities law, private equity, fund and joint venture formation, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance matters. He has a particular focus on transactions involving real estate investment trusts (REITs).

He advises companies and their sponsors through the entire life cycle of the business from formation through the initial public offering process (in fact, Daniel has advised on more than 35 initial public offerings in his career), and thereafter with respect to equity and debt capital markets transactions, SEC reporting and compliance, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions, and corporate governance. Daniel also regularly serves as counsel for the underwriters in capital markets transactions and also advises boards of directors and special committees on strategic transactions and other governance matters.

In addition to businesses focused on the real estate and mortgage industries, Daniel advises clients in a variety of other industries ranging from technology to manufacturing to infrastructure. Before law school, Daniel worked as an analyst at a New York bank, where he developed a strong foundation in corporate finance. He spent his early years as an attorney focusing on bank M&A deals before becoming a real estate capital markets lawyer. He leverages this background together with his deep understanding of clients’ businesses and industries to provide tailored, practical, creative legal guidance to help clients meet their objectives. Daniel is ranked by Chambers USA as a Band 1 lawyer nationally in REITs where reviewers note that “he is one of the premier REIT corporate lawyers in the business,” and “his judgment, experience and accessibility are invaluable” (2021).

Daniel also serves as the managing partner for V&E’s Richmond office.
