About Daniel
Daniel Xuli trained on both coasts. He graduated from Saint Marys College of California in 2010 with a B.A. in politics and earned his J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 2017. Those years frame a path from classroom to courtroom clerkships and then into private practice.
His early legal work was in government and institutional settings. In 2015 he served as a law clerk at the U.S. Department of Justice in the Office of the United States Trustee. The next year he spent a summer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, working in the Director’s Office and the Office of General Counsel. In 2017 he returned to Wood Smith Henning & Berman, LLP, first as a law clerk and then as an associate.
Following those stints, Xuli entered firm practice in labor and employment matters. In 2019 he joined Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP as an associate in the labor and employment group. He moved to Perkins Coie LLP in 2021, again in a labor and employment capacity. Since 2022 he has been with Littler Mendelson, P.C., continuing work in employment law. His résumé shows steady progression through sizable firms’ employment practices over a relatively short span of years.
Xuli is licensed in California and admitted to practice in multiple federal districts. His federal admissions include the Central, Northern, Eastern and Southern Districts of California. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that range from routine employment disputes to cases that require practice in federal court.
He has taken on roles outside of client work as well. In 2016 he joined the Alumni Board of Directors at Saint Marys College of California. More recently, in 2024 he held a board membership for the Barristers Section of the Contra Costa County Bar Association. Those positions indicate engagement with both his alma mater and the local bar community.
Colleagues and colleagues’ directories identify him as an associate in Littler Mendelson’s office. He has combined firm practice, federal-court admissions and local bar activity into a career built around workplace law. He now practices employment law at Littler Mendelson, P.C., handling matters that arise under California and federal employment statutes.
