“Though I recommend that all clients take a proactive approach to risk management, I appreciate that the complex realties of today’s risk landscape make it impossible to anticipate all threats. As such, I provide solutions to address risks before they occur, but also stand ready to assist with the unexpected.”

Daniel Pesciotta focuses his practice on legal ethics and risk management. He advises and trains attorneys and professional staff on questions of professional responsibility and cybersecurity, conducts compliance and employment investigations, and reviews, drafts and negotiates commercial contracts.

Dan also counsels attorneys on ethical obligations, represents them before attorney grievance committees, and handles legal fee disputes. In addition, he has experience litigating complex commercial disputes and managing electronic discovery. Dan has taken a prisoner civil rights case to verdict in federal court.
