"We are thrilled to have Danielle join our team," said George Daniel, Managing Partner of DEMC. "Danielle brings a wealth of dynamic experience in the fashion and entertainment industries that will be instrumental in serving our clients' needs."
Beyond her legal practice, Garno leads multiple ventures at the intersection of law and technology.
Garno is Chief Legal Officer of My Ascend AI, a community-focused agentic AI platform and its legal product, Amicus Pro, a legal tech platform for direct access to institutional knowledge and internal collaboration. She also co-founded Être: The Attorney Brand Masterclass, a coaching program for lawyers focused on visibility, authority, and growth.
In addition to her client and platform work, Garno teaches in the Entertainment, Arts & Sports Law LLM program at the University of Miami School of Law.
