Amin (“Ah-meen”) Danai has been a full-time mediator since 2022. Before that, he practiced law at Ropes & Gray LLP for nine years. His interest in mediation developed while at Ropes & Gray, from which he took a year-long hiatus for an intensive mediation apprenticeship. He learned from many prominent mediators, which enabled Amin to see different mediation styles and learn what is effective and what is not. Amin then returned to Ropes & Gray and the practice of law with the intent to eventually shift his practice to mediation. He made that intent a reality in 2022.

Amin is a graduate of St. Lawrence University, magna cum laude, and Boston University School of Law, summa cum laude.
