Daniel represents healthcare industry investors, facility owners and operators in mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions. He guides clients through the purchase, lease, sale, financing and refinancing of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, structuring deals to achieve their business goals while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulatory requirements.

Combining healthcare industry knowledge with corporate, real estate and finance skills, Daniel crafts deal terms that balance risk, liability and operational needs, ensuring clients can grow, sell or restructure their healthcare businesses while avoiding compliance pitfalls and financial risk. His work spans every stage of a transaction, from negotiating purchase and sale agreements, loan documents, and leases to closing deals and assisting with post-closing integration. Daniel readily identifies risks in due diligence, advises on financing options, structures leases to align with healthcare regulations and steers clients through title, zoning and financing challenges tied to facility operations.

Daniel also has wide-ranging experience handling commercial acquisitions, dispositions and leasing projects for renewable energy developments, as well as private equity investments in telecommunications infrastructure. He maintains strong client relationships built on accessibility, responsiveness and a commitment to seeing clients’ businesses thrive.

Daniel is fluent in English and German.
