My Why

What powers my practice

I was drawn to the law because it sits at the intersection of strategy, judgment, and real-world impact. At its core, I see legal practice as problem-solving: helping clients navigate complexity, structure opportunities, and move forward with confidence.

What energizes me most is working where law, business, and technology meet. I build AI workflows and agents that change how legal work gets done, and I stand behind every result they produce. Technology makes the work faster and more consistent. Judgment is what makes it right. I bring both to every matter.

I believe great lawyers do more than manage risk. They help create pathways for growth. I strive to create lasting value by building tools and systems others can use, sharing what I learn, and helping clients think more strategically about the opportunities ahead.

Overview

Danial is an Associate in Michael Best’s Corporate group, where he assists clients with a wide range of business and transactional matters.

Danial is an Associate in Michael Best’s Corporate group, where he counsels clients on a broad range of transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, financing, and real estate transactions, as well as related regulatory, governance, compliance, and general corporate matters.

Danial also designs, builds, and deploys AI workflows and agents that support transactional matters, including contract review and M&A due diligence, as well as custom-tailored solutions for individual clients. He manages each workflow across its full life cycle, from design and development through deployment and execution. He also serves as the lawyer in the loop: he decides where automation adds value, reviews the resulting work, and applies his own legal judgment before any work product reaches a client. The result is higher-quality work, delivered more efficiently and with shorter turnaround times. He also plays a central role in Michael Best’s adoption of generative AI, training attorneys across the firm’s offices and leading regular working sessions that help practice groups put these tools to use.

While pursuing his J.D., Danial spent two summers with Michael Best as a Summer Associate. Before law school, he served as the firm’s business and client intake specialist, managing the onboarding of multiple attorney groups and their clients across offices. That role gave him an early, ground-level understanding of how a firm’s practices and operations fit together. Earlier, he worked as a litigation paralegal at an AmLaw 100 firm and as a clerk in the Intensive Care Unit of a Level 1 trauma center within a large academic healthcare system in New Jersey.

In law school, Danial served on the executive board of the Student Bar Association. As a Student Associate in the Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic, he helped entrepreneurs and growing companies with formation documents, privacy policies, terms of service, and a range of commercial contracts. He represented his law school in Hong Kong at the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, where his team finished in the top 35 out of 200 teams, and later became a semifinalist in a moot court competition. He also interned for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, conducting legal research, drafting bench memoranda, and attending oral arguments.
