He obtained a degree in Social and Political Sciences from Cambridge University before converting to law, qualifying as a Solicitor in 2004.
Dan’s main area of practice involves using Judicial Review creatively, protecting his clients’ interests by challenging public authorities’ decisions, actions, or lack of action.

He also has extensive experience representing parents in the independent sector.
