Canada, 2010 SCC 67) has resulted in one of the largest financial recoveries in Canadian legal history. The Manuge case was the first time that the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the certification of a constitutional class action. Dan has appeared on The National, The World at Six and various other media outlets discussing the Manuge class action and other issues facing disabled veterans.

Dan was also co-counsel for over 1,000 disabled RCMP veterans in the successful class action of Buote Estate v. Canada, 2014 FC 773.

Dan is a part-time professor at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University where he teaches two courses: Civil Trial Practice and Class Action Law and Procedure in Canada. Previously, Dan clerked at the Federal Court from 2006-2007.

Recognized for his litigation practice and contributions to the legal community, Dan has been named a Litigator to Watch by Lexpert Magazine and was awarded the 2015 Zöe Odei Young Lawyers Award, which recognizes a young lawyer’s service to the Canadian Bar Association and the community.
