ABOUT

Daniel Gallant is a lawyer and registered social worker.

Daniel offers a unique skillset, knowledge base and perspective for clients who are faced with difficult legal situations. He has been described as a strong advocate.

Daniel's life before law provides him with a grounded approach when dealing with legal systems. Prior to his legal career he was a counsellor, human service worker, truck driver, residential construction sub-contractor, and bouncer.

Daniel went on to complete a B.A. in First Nations Studies, and a Masters in Social Work at UNBC. His academic research has been cited by multiple world leading scholars in counter-terrorism.

After being accepted into both a PhD program in Australia and a law school in BC, he was faced with the decision to spend multiple years away from northern BC, or remain in the north and become a lawyer. Due to his love for the outdoors and the north, he decided to remain local.

Daniel's other achievements include: receiving multiple writing awards; commissioned by federal government and UNESCO to write policy paper; speaking at conferences worldwide (including Google Summit in NYC, UNESCO in Paris, and multiple engagements in UK); developing resources for the prevention of violence and radicalization; consultancy work with media, NGOs, experts, national security teams, and individuals.

When not working, Daniel can be found enjoying the outdoors and nature with activities such as: camping, fly fishing, canoeing, hunting, archery, bee keeping, woodworking, writing and riding motorcycles.
