Daniel Watts is an associate attorney in the litigation
practice group at G10 Law, a Professional Law Corporation. Before
joining the firm, he practiced civil litigation in state and federal court at
both the trial and appellate level. He is admitted to all four federal courts
in California, California's state courts, and the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals. His past cases, several of which resulted in favorable published court
decisions for clients, included civil rights and business disputes, employment
and labor violations, landlord-tenant issues, tort claims, and administrative
trials. He has advised startup companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and
Sacramento, helping companies incorporate, issue stock options to employees,
and negotiate with investors. Mr. Watts received his J.D. from UC Davis School
of Law in 2011, where he was an editor on the UC Davis Law Review and a member
of the governing board of the Appellate Advocacy program. He served simultaneously as president of the campus ACLU and
Federalist Society chapters, often pitting the two organizations against each
other in head-to-head debates. Before coming to law school, Daniel graduated
from UC San Diego with a B.A. in Political Science and History, after which he
taught English in Japan on the JET Programme. While a 20-year-old
undergraduate, he ran for California governor in the 2003 recall election
against Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis. In his free time, he mentors
college newspaper editors on free speech and journalism issues.
