About Daniel
Daniel Friedman is a New York lawyer whose career spans decades. He earned a J.D. from New York Law School in 1977 after completing undergraduate studies in accounting at Brooklyn College. That dual grounding in law and numbers has informed his work ever since.
He has alternated between private practice and in-house roles. In 1991 he is listed as a partner at the Law Offices of Daniel Friedman and, in the same year, he served as general counsel for American European Group, Inc. Those concurrent roles gave him both a client-side and adviser’s perspective on corporate decision making. Two decades later he joined the Law Offices of Sheldon Eisenberger as a partner in 2013. By 2015 he was again a partner at the Law Offices of Daniel Friedman, where he practices today.
Friedman is admitted to practice in New York and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He has maintained a practice based in state and federal matters, combining courtroom work and transactional counseling. Over the years he has handled matters that draw on his accounting background as well as legal training.
His earlier experience as general counsel shaped how he approaches corporate clients. That time inside a company gave him direct exposure to governance, contract negotiation and regulatory obligations. He has used that experience in private practice, advising clients on commercial matters, contract disputes and issues that involve financial analysis. Colleagues describe him as steady and precise; clients have relied on his ability to translate technical financial information into practical legal positions.
Today Friedman operates under the Law Offices of Daniel Friedman. His office profile lists roles as a partner across different firms and an early in-house counsel position that remains a clear touchstone for his practice. He continues to serve clients in New York and before the Second Circuit, applying both his accounting training and his years of legal experience to corporate and commercial matters.
