Dunn Isaacson Rhee is thrilled to announce that Danielle Conley is joining DIR as a Partner in our Washington D.C. office! We have known Danielle for years and she is a perfect fit for DIR where we have sought to assemble a tight-knit group of elite litigators known for their creativity, their agility, their decency, and their ability to tackle and solve the hardest problems. 

Danielle, who previously served as Deputy White House Counsel and Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice, brings with her more than two decades of leadership within government and private practice. Her practice will focus on investigations, congressional oversight, and crisis management where she is known for guiding corporations, boards, educational institutions, philanthropies, and public figures through their most challenging environments.

Also joining DIR is Danielle’s longtime colleague, Jude Volek, who served as former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Associate White House Counsel and former deputy chief of the Special Litigation Section of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. Jude will serve as a Partner out of the firm’s Washington, D.C. office where he will guide clients through sensitive internal investigations and government enforcement actions. 

We look forward to introducing Danielle and Jude to many of you in the coming weeks. And please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to set a time to meet them.

In less than a year since our launch, DIR has proudly engaged in more than 100 matters on behalf of new and longstanding clients, completed high-profile trials, taken on meaningful pro bono work, and secured preliminary injunctions, motions to dismiss, successful resolutions, and jury verdicts on behalf of our clients.
