Clients have told Chambers USA (2007) that Dan is "'extremely knowledgeable'...has been 'doing this kind of work forever, so everyone respects his opinion.' 'If I were doing customer-based negotiations, I'd love to have him representing me, because he's thorough, a stickler for detail and a hard-nosed negotiator.'" Chambers adds that Dan is "renowned in the market as the architect of the firm's outsourcing practice. Clients keep returning to him because he 'has a deep knowledge of the law, market conditions and the state of the industry overall.'" Chambers also describes Dan as "a pioneer in this field, bringing 'a lot of poise and direction' to all his negotiations" and reports that he is "endorsed by many of our interviewees as the first port of call for complex outsourcing matters." Chambers Global (2006) noted that Dan "continues to be endorsed by many of our interviewees as the first port of call for complex outsourcing matters...'If you want a deal done quickly, he's the guy to go to'..."
Dan is recognized as one of the leading lawyers in the highly specialized outsourcing field by Chambers Global ("1" ranking in Outsourcing), Chambers USA ("1" ranking in "Business Process Outsourcing" and "DC: IT Outsourcing"), Legal 500 (recognized in "Technology Outsourcing") and Best Lawyers in America (recognized in Information Technology Outsourcing).
