Dan combines over twenty years of entertainment law expertise with a corporate and securities law background. As a result, in addition to advising entertainment industry clients with regard to the exploitation and protection of intellectual property, Dan also works with them on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings and other corporate transactions. An increasingly significant portion of Dan's practice is devoted to the negotiation of employment contracts for senior executives in the entertainment, media and advertising fields, including the structuring and negotiation of tax-efficient equity-based incentive compensation arrangements for executives in private companies. Dan also supervises the firm's residential real estate practice.
Dan is a recognized expert on theater law, representing the producers of recent Broadway shows such as "700 Sundays," "All Shook Up," "Little Women" and "Goodnight Gracie" and recent Off-Broadway shows such as "Altar Boyz" and "The Two and Only." He lectures regularly on theatrical finance and is the author of "Entity Selection for Theatrical Producers: Limited Liability Company or Limited Partnership?" and the co-author, with his law partner Elliot H. Brown, of "A Practical Guide To Theatrical Financing."
Dan received an A.B. degree from Brown University (1976), where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and his law degree from New York University (1980).
