Danielle Hartley

Prior to joining Crowell & Moring, Danielle served as a term law clerk for the Honorable John L. Kane of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Over eighteen months with Judge Kane, she engaged with virtually every facet of federal litigation, from motion practice and evidentiary issues to trial preparation and judicial decision-making. That inside perspective on how federal judges analyze cases and craft decisions informs how she approaches strategy and advocacy for her clients today. She subsequently gained additional experience as a litigation and investigations associate at a major international law firm before joining Crowell.

Danielle earned her J.D. from the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law, graduating with election to the Order of the Coif. During law school, she served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Timothy M. Tymkovich of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and spent a summer as a Trainee Associate at Studio Legale Scognamiglio in Naples, Italy. She capped her law school career as the Senior Articles Editor of the Denver Law Review.

Before law school, Danielle worked as a senior litigation paralegal at two international law firms, giving her an understanding of how complex cases are built and managed from the ground up.
