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.

She litigates a wide range of transnational claims arising from breaches of contract and fiduciary duty, fraud, defamation, and tortious business practices, both at the trial and appellate levels, nationwide. Tara’s practice includes obtaining recognition of foreign arbitral awards and judgments to facilitate asset recovery efforts. Her expertise extends to conducting post-judgment discovery and initiating discovery actions under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to gather evidence for use in foreign proceedings, an area of law in which she has achieved precedent-setting results expanding the permissible uses of discovery obtained under the statute.
