Daniel R. Harper JD's Linkedin Analytics

As a respected executive and trusted member of senior leadership teams, I am recognized for my ability to provide pragmatic, actionable, and meaningful legal advice at the intersection of revenue creation and risk mitigation. Throughout my career, I have provided practical business-focused counsel to key stakeholders, boards, executives, and business unit managers of multi-national public and private companies on a broad range of strategic initiatives in regulated and non-regulated industries. Companies and leadership teams value my ability to: ✦ actively engage with and support the interests of chief executives and boards of directors across an array of domestic and international legal domains, ✦ protect company assets and interests by establishing clear processes in partnership with sales, marketing, engineering, finance, and technology teams to reduce short-term and long-term risk exposure, ✦ form key relationships with members of government entities, including the FDA, EPA, and U.S. Congress to influence pivotal decisions and positively impact future revenues, profits, and expenses, ✦ bring a unique blend of gravitas and unwavering integrity to complex negotiations and litigations and earn the trust of colleagues through ethical leadership. In addition to my corporate legal career, I have served on the Global Board of Directors for the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), including on the Executive and Advocacy committees, and as the president and member of the board of directors for the Chicago chapter of the ACC. I received my juris doctor (JD) from DePaul University and a bachelor of arts (BA) in economics from Villanova University. In my pursuit of continuing my professional development, I completed a certificate in Leadership from Darden Graduate School of Business and held a certificate as a compliance and ethics professional.
