Danny has a strong foundation in both public sector law and legislative policy. His practice centers on workplace issues, where he advises clients on matters involving collective bargaining, employment discrimination, and regulatory compliance.

Danny regularly drafts position statements, develops litigation strategy, and supports arbitration proceedings, helping clients resolve disputes efficiently and position themselves for success.
