Daniel Matthias Coyle, a partner at Sequor Law, focuses his practice on bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, secured transactions, collections, executions, asset recovery and cross-border insolvency, routinely representing financial institutions and other creditors in bankruptcy and state court litigation.

Daniel has represented clients in commercial loan enforcement cases, including actions for foreclosure of commercial real property and replevin, and suits on notes and guaranties. Additionally, he represents lenders in the negotiation and documentation of workout agreements, loan restructuring, forbearance agreements and loan sale agreements. Daniel has also represented sellers of goods in Uniform Commercial Code Sales of Goods litigation and aggregate bodies of foreign creditors in United States Bankruptcy Proceedings, including obtaining foreign main recognition under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Represented client who was victim of trademark and copyright infringement in obtaining a non-dischargeable judgment liquidating the trademark and copyright claims against the debtor.

Counsel of record for the defendant in Abel & Buchheim , P.R., Inc. v. Citibank, Nat’l Ass’n, 1:16-CV-24663-KMM, 2017 WL 3731002, (S.D. Fla. Aug. 28, 2017), in which the plaintiff sued the bank under a fact-pattern that the bank permitted the plaintiff’s former officer/director to transfer funds from the corporate account despite the existence of an injunction. The depositor sued the bank under theories of aiding and abetting as well as negligence. The Court dismissed the aiding and abetting counts because the factual assertions in this complaint did not allege that the bank had actual knowledge of the underlying torts or that the bank assisted the former officer/director’s tortious conduct by merely allowing her to withdraw funds from the accounts. The Court dismissed the negligence claim against the bank because plaintiff’s claims were not for the recovery of bodily injury or property damage and “there is no common-law duty of a defendant in negligence to protect a plaintiff from mere economic losses.”

Daniel was named a SuperLawyer in 2022 and a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020 and was recognized by Florida Legal Elite in 2021 for Commercial Litigation. He was a panel member at the 2018 NAFER Conference, “So We Have an Asset Where?”, about discovery and recovery of assets abroad and a speaker at the December 1, 2016 Pincus Professional Education Seminar, entitled “Chapter 11 Challenges: Beyond the Basics” on the topic of Post-Confirmation Litigation. He is also on the international committee for NAFER. Daniel co-authored an article with Gregory S. Grossman entitled, “When a Lender Fails, Its Borrower’s Litigation Defenses May Be (D’Oench) Duhmed,” which was published in the January 2013 issue of the Florida Bar Journal.

Daniel was counsel of record for the Foreign Trustee in In re Massa Falida Do Banco Cruzeiro Do Sul S.A., 14-22974-BKC-LMI, 2017 WL 1102814 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Mar. 23, 2017), which is the first published decision nationwide that a foreign liquidator in a Chapter 15 adversary proceeding may assert US-state-law fraudulent transfer/fraudulent conveyance claims to claw back fraudulent transfers on behalf of the foreign debtor and/or its creditors. He was also counsel of record for the defendant in Gilbert & Caddy, P.A. v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 193 F. Supp. 3d 1294 (S.D. Fla. 2016), which is the first published decision in a Florida state or federal court that a bank, in the deposit agreement, may shorten the time-period for a depositor/customer to report an allegedly fraudulent electronic funds transfer.

Daniel is admitted to practice in the state of Florida, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. He is a member of the Bankruptcy Bar Association and the American Bar Association as well as the Florida Business Law Section and Florida International Law Section.
