Dan Miller, a founding partner of Miller Barondess, LLP, has been recognized as a “Private Equity and M&A Business Visionary” in the August 2026 edition of Business magazine published by LA Times Studios. This recognition highlights leading private equity and M&A professionals whose strategic leadership and deep industry experience have helped guide significant transactions, corporate transformations, and long-term growth across the business community.
Dan is trusted by private equity firms, venture capital funds, and other sophisticated investment entities to handle their most significant and complex litigation matters. He consistently aligns legal precision with business objectives, producing outcomes that advance his clients’ financial and reputational interests.
Dan represents Wave Investment in a $25+ million action against SecurCapital for breach of a non-circumvention agreement and fraud. The claims arise from defendants’ alleged diversion of a valuable business opportunity by acquiring the target and excluding Wave from the transaction, in breach of the agreement. Dan defeated the defendant’s demurrer, summary judgment motion, and motion for judgment on the pleadings. The trial is set for October 2026.
Dan defended private equity firm GI Partners in high-profile litigation arising from its acquisition and ownership of a skilled nursing portfolio company. Plaintiffs asserted elder abuse and related claims stemming from a patient’s death, naming GI under alter ego and joint venture theories. Dan secured a complete dismissal with prejudice on the eve of trial with no payment by GI. He has since successfully resolved approximately ten additional lawsuits involving the same portfolio company, again with no payment by the client.
He represented the private equity firm Corbel Capital Partners in Delaware Chancery Court in a dispute with MediaLab concerning alleged oral agreements and damages claims. Corbel had provided critical financing that enabled MediaLab’s rapid growth and a stock repurchase at an approximate $1.58 billion equity valuation. Dan simultaneously pursued Corbel’s counterclaims for amounts owed. The matter settled on confidential terms.
In a legal malpractice action, Dan represented three multi-billion-dollar private equity firms against a premier global law firm arising from investments totaling over $100 million in debt instruments. The matter was resolved via confidential settlement. He also represented Beach Point Capital in numerous significant litigation matters in California.
Dan’s career victories include a favorable ruling in an international arbitration for an affiliate of The Gores Group, a Los Angeles-based global private equity firm, recovering over $11 million (the full amount sought plus interest and attorneys’ fees) for breach of a reseller agreement against two Lebanese telecommunication companies and their parent company. The tribunal rejected the respondents’ $25+ million counterclaim in its entirety and held the parent company liable. In another case for The Gores Group, Dan secured a $20+ million settlement in the Southern District of New York against Fifth and Pacific Companies (formerly Liz Claiborne) for breach of a merger agreement.
