Daniel A. Sasse

Dan has devoted a substantial portion of his practice to antitrust cartel litigation on both sides of the “v.” This practice includes defending clients in criminal investigations and civil litigation as well as representing many Fortune 500 companies as plaintiffs in recovery actions when they have been the victim of price-fixing cartels. Dan has helped clients recover more than $5 billion in recent years and has helped turn legal departments from cost centers into profit centers.

Chambers USA, Global Competition Review, and Southern California Super Lawyers have consistently named Dan as one of the top antitrust lawyers in the country.

Dan is a former member of Crowell’s Management Board, the co-chair of its Finance Committee, and co-chair of the Antitrust and Competition Group. Dan is also heavily involved in Crowell’s award-winning pro bono program. For these efforts and more, the Daily Journal has recognized Dan as one of "10 Emerging Law Firm Leaders in California."

Outside of the firm, Dan is a leader in the Orange County Bar and community organizations. He is past-president of the Orange County Chapters of the Association of Business Trial Lawyers and the Federal Bar Association. He is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation and has served as a lawyer representative to the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference and as a member of the Central District of California Local Rules Committee.

Before joining Crowell, Dan clerked for two years for the Honorable H. Dean Whipple, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. At Emory, Dan was a member of the Emory International Law Review and Jessup International Moot Court Team.
