Daniel B. Winslow is a trial lawyer and a problem solver who helps clients accomplish their business goals. Prior to joining Duane Morris, Mr. Winslow was chief legal counsel to then-Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and was previously a presiding justice and appellate division justice in the Massachusetts Trial Court.

Based on his broad leadership experience in both the private and public sectors, Mr. Winslow concentrates his practice in three areas: trial, outside general counsel services and corporate strategies.

As a trial lawyer and a former Massachusetts trial court judge, Mr. Winslow understands the value of creative advocacy in persuading a judge or jury to decide in a client's favor. His trial practice encompasses complex civil and criminal cases for individuals and corporations, including bet-the-company litigation and ADR involving commercial disputes, state and federal administrative law, corporate compliance, intellectual property, consumer protection, products liability, procurement and white-collar criminal defense. He represents clients in a range of industries, including construction, energy, environmental, insurance, automotive and real estate.

Mr. Winslow has been cited by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly newspaper as one of the 35 most influential lawyers in Massachusetts in the past 35 years. Recognized as a Super Lawyer in Massachusetts by Law & Politics magazine, Mr. Winslow also has been named one of the nation's Top 500 Trial Lawyers by Lawdragon Magazine.

Mr. Winslow's practice also encompasses outside general counsel services. As the former chief legal counsel to former Governor Romney, Mr. Winslow oversaw a team of more than 800 in-house and outside counsel; the largest legal practice in the commonwealth. Mr. Winslow now serves as outside general counsel to companies that operate without an in-house legal department or in combination with corporate legal departments seeking to leverage the practice depth and geographic reach of Duane Morris. As outside general counsel, Mr. Winslow has assisted corporate clients in areas as varied as HIPAA, patent prosecution and litigation, trademark and copyright, telecommunications, investment banking, internet and entertainment law, internal investigations, LNG and energy law, project development, healthcare law, litigation audits and improving outside counsel procurement practices.

Innovation is the key to corporate competitiveness in the global marketplace. In the corporate strategies area of his practice, Mr. Winslow works closely with management to identify and achieve innovative results, cost savings and revenue maximization. Whether designing a conflict prevention and resolution strategy, coordinating legal and media strategies, creating legislative or administrative public policy solutions, developing internal compliance and training policies, assessing and preventing risk, or capturing opportunity, Mr. Winslow is a lawyer who gets things done.
