Dan most recently served as Senior Vice President and Managing Counsel at Wells Fargo, where he led a team providing advice to Wells Fargo’s Regulatory Relations and Government Relations and Public Policy functions. Earlier in his time at Wells Fargo, he worked as part of the general bank regulatory team, providing advice regarding banking statutes, regulations and policies issued by bank regulatory agencies that pertain to U.S. corporate-level bank and bank holding company regulatory laws and associated regulations, such as permissible activities, capital and liquidity rules, bank anti-tying rules, transactions with affiliates, branching and other office establishment issues, federal preemption, and federal antitrust laws. Prior to joining Wells Fargo, Dan was a partner at a major law firm, providing general bank regulatory advice. Dan also worked as Senior Counsel to the House Financial Services Committee, with responsibility for drafting substantial portions of the banking law provisions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act. Earlier in his career, Dan worked on the Legal Staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with responsibility for a variety of bank supervisory matters, including prudential regulation and bank M&A.
Dan has served as the Chair of the American Bankers Association’s Regulatory Strategy Group, as the Vice-Chair of the In-House subcommittee of the American Bar Association’s Banking Law Committee, and on the executive council of the Federal Bar Association’s Bank Law Committee. In connection with his role at Wells Fargo, Dan met frequently with the bank regulatory attorneys for the major U.S. and non-U.S. banks in various committees of the banking industry’s primary trade groups, such as the Bank Policy Institute (the successor to the Financial Services Roundtable and the Clearing House Association), the American Bankers Association, and the Financial Services Forum.
