Daniel S. Atlas

Daniel S. Atlas is an attorney whose practice primarily focuses on corporate and complex commercial litigation within Delaware's state and federal courts, including the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court. His experience encompasses merger and acquisition-related litigation, contractual disputes, appraisal and derivative litigation, federal securities suits, and advising on corporate governance matters.

Mr. Atlas is currently a partner at Dailey LLP, which he joined in March 2024. Prior to this, he spent approximately seven and a half years in the corporate litigation group at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP in Wilmington, Delaware. His professional profiles do not extensively detail intellectual property or patent litigation as a core area of his practice.

Despite his primary focus, Mr. Atlas has appeared in one tracked patent litigation matter: Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. et al. v. CERT Operations II LLC et al.. In this case, which involved patent infringement claims related to mercury control at coal-fired power plants, Mr. Atlas served as counsel for Defendant Alistar Enterprises, LLC. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, resulted in a $57 million jury verdict in favor of Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. against a group of coal refiner defendants, with one defendant, CERT Operations RCB LLC, found liable for a significant portion of the damages. His tracked appearance in this case was on the defendant side, consistent with his broader practice of representing corporate clients in litigation. There is no information from publicly available sources indicating regular involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Mr. Atlas is admitted to practice in Delaware and before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2016, where he also received a Wharton Certificate in Management. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Science and Policy with a minor in Sustainability from the University of Maryland, College Park, received in 2013.
