About Dan
Dan Bause earned his law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law. He moved into private practice after completing his studies and built a practice that spans both state and regional concerns. His education at Seton Hall provided a foundation in litigation and regulatory work that continues to inform his approach to client matters.
He is a partner at O Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble, where he participates in case strategy, client counseling and trial preparation. As a firm partner he shares responsibility for managing files and mentoring junior lawyers. The role involves balancing courtroom work with the day‑to‑day demands of running a small firm practice.
Bause is admitted to practice in New Jersey and New York. He handles matters that arise in both jurisdictions and navigates the procedural differences between them. That cross‑state practice requires attention to changing statutes and local court rules, and an ability to coordinate filings and hearings across borders.
Outside the firm he is active in professional groups. He is a member of the New Jersey Bar Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association. Those memberships keep him connected to peers and to continuing legal education programs that address recent case law and legislative developments.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and direct in court and at the negotiating table. He takes a practical view of litigation, weighing risks and likely outcomes before recommending a path forward. His work often involves document drafting, motion practice and preparing witnesses for deposition and trial testimony.
Clients and peers see him as steady under pressure. He manages the logistical details of a case while attending to the substantive law. That dual attention helps in matters that require quick tactical decisions and a persistent long‑term strategy.
Bause divides his time between firm responsibilities and professional association work. He remains based at O Connor, Parsons, Lane & Noble, LLC, and continues to represent clients in New Jersey and New York. His current practice focuses on employment law matters in those jurisdictions.
