Daniel Patrick Wendt

After majoring in history with a focus on comparative colonialism, Daniel (Dan or Danny) Patrick Wendt moved to Washington, DC in 1998 to explore the practice of international trade law, interested in learning more about the recently-concluded NAFTA and WTO Agreements. He returned in 2003 after finishing law school, finding an evolving trade landscape after China's admission to the WTO. In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued its first two corporate deferred prosecution agreements for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), both requiring monitorships. Miller & Chevalier had a role in both agreements, and by 2006 Mr. Wendt was heading to Africa for a related FCPA due diligence review, his first FCPA project. Since that time, his practice has focused on the FCPA, corporate investigations, and United States trade laws.
