Daniel completed undergraduate degrees in Arts (majoring in French) and Law at Monash University.
He was then articled to Phillip Borden at Home Wilkinson & Lowry, Lawyers, in Melbourne and worked briefly in Sydney for Doyles' Construction Lawyers before being called to the Victorian Bar in 1997.
In 2002, Daniel completed a Master of Laws at the University of Melbourne. Areas of specialisation within that course included commercial equity and trade practices, negligence, insurance, construction, evidence and procedure.
At the Bar, Daniel has developed a busy commercial litigation practice, including advice and appearances in matters concerning property, commercial and contract law, equity, trade practices, insurance and professional negligence, construction, and torts.
Daniel maintains an abiding interest in the community, and believes that those who have benefited professionally from the law carry an obligation to return some of that benefit to the community. To that end, he is always prepared to consider requests from solicitors to act on a pro bono basis in appropriate matters.
