Dan McGravey litigates employment matters for private and public sector employers and frequently defends clients in jury trials ranging from discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation. In addition to his litigation practice, Dan is also an ATIXA certified Title IX investigator.

A former Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney, Daniel is a veteran trial lawyer who focuses his current practice on representing private and public sector employers in state and federal courts against allegations of discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, and religion, as well as charges of harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation. Daniel’s practice also focuses on § 1983 civil rights litigation for government entities and he regularly litigates FELA claims (injuries to railroad workers). Daniel has tried multiple cases to verdict in federal and state courts.

Daniel litigates complex matters for individuals and businesses involving restrictive clauses in employment contracts, trade secrets, and non-competition and confidentiality agreements, as well as violations of the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Daniel handles employee defection and recruitment cases in a variety of industries. These cases routinely require emergency injunctive relief in either federal or state court and subsequent damages claims. He advises companies and individuals on hiring and firing, recruitment and departure of critical employees, and the drafting and enforcement of restrictive covenants. Daniel routinely drafts and reviews employment contracts for executives in all sectors of business and industry as well as negotiating severance agreements.
