Dan has led many IP cases to successful resolution, and obtained some of the most important and precedential decisions in IP matters in recent years. Dan has been consistently ranked by leading research companies (such as Chambers and Partners, Legal 500, etc.) as one of the leading IP lawyers in Israel, describing Dan as "'exceptional litigator: precise, quick, thorough, sharp’, and ‘very good, very knowledgeable and very thorough’".
