Dan Eisenberg

Dan Eisenberg is an experienced litigator. He represents people and institutions in courtrooms across the country, oftentimes in high profile and complex disputes. Dan has secured record mid-trial settlements in civil rights cases, emergency relief to stop constitutional violations, and favorable outcomes in confidential arbitration and other trial-like proceedings. In addition to his litigation practice, Dan serves as outside counsel to non-profit organizations, public officials, and others seeking to navigate strategic challenges, including inquiries from the U.S. Congress.

Immediately prior to joining the firm, Dan was Deputy Staff Director & Senior Counsel to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the primary investigative body of the U.S. Senate, where he led bipartisan investigations into government misconduct. Dan’s investigations culminated in bipartisan Congressional hearings and reporting on the abuse of pretrial detainees, sexual assault of prisoners, and the Department of Justice’s failure to oversee deaths in state and local custody. This public record established the factual predicate for reforms within the Department of Justice and by Congress, including passage of the Federal Prison Oversight Act and the Prison Camera Reform Act. These investigations, and the resulting legislation, were honored with the 2024 Carl Levin Award for Effective Oversight.
