Daniel Rosenfeld, Boston, Litigation

Dan has been instrumental in planning and leading the Boston office's Signature Project, "The Education Rights Project," a collaboration with Massachusetts Advocates for Children (MAC), a private, nonprofit legal advocacy organization that functions as an independent and effective voice for children who face significant barriers to equal education and life opportunities. The project utilizes a broad range of strategies to help assure that children in Massachusetts receive services to which they are legally entitled. The project is organized into four components made up of teams from DLA Piper and MAC: (1) advocacy to support children with autism spectrum disorder; (2) advocacy for students in the Boston Public School system; (3) advocacy around statewide special education issues, especially for young adults with disabilities transitioning out of high school and for issues related to the state’s education department; and (4) a synergy team involving national healthcare, insurance and financial corporate partners.

In addition to his leadership of the Boston office's signature project, Dan has appeared in conjunction with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights on behalf of victims of civil rights violations and has also worked with other legal services providers on behalf of low income or indigent individuals.
