Dave works with a wide range of clients, including trade associations, technology companies, nonprofits, and businesses in the agriculture and construction industries, and represents them in class actions, administrative proceedings, rulemaking and other administrative law challenges, and disputes involving wage and hour claims, noncompete agreements, and trade secrets. In addition to his private practice, Dave has served in high-profile Senior Counsel and Chief of Staff positions in the federal government, including as Counsel to the Solicitor of the United States Department of Labor and Chief of Staff for Strategy, Policy and Plans at the United States Department of Homeland Security.
