Specialties & Experience
About Dana Svendsen
With nearly 20 years of experience, I advise clients on workplace safety and health matters that demand clear judgment, steady counsel, and practical solutions. As Senior Counsel in Perkins Coie's Environment, Energy & Resources Group, I serve as a trusted guide to clients in general industry, construction, and mining — helping them see what others miss in complex safety and health matters.My strength lies in recognizing the deeper patterns within regulatory challenges. I represent clients in OSHA and MSHA civil and criminal enforcement actions, whistleblower claims, and investigations involving serious workplace injuries, amputations, and fatalities. Drawing on an in-depth knowledge of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, and related state and federal regulations, I deliver measured, strategic counsel. I help clients assess risk, respond effectively, and make sound decisions in moments of significant operational and legal pressure.A former civil engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, I bring a natural technical fluency to legal challenges that allows me to bridge the gap between operational realities and regulatory requirements. That foundation shapes how I approach every engagement: I translate complex regulations into practical guidance that leaders can act on, helping clients not only meet compliance obligations but build the systems and culture needed to sustain workplace safety over the long term. I regularly advise on the development of compliance programs tailored to each client's operations and risk profile.I am a frequent speaker and published author on workplace safety topics, and I am passionate about delivering innovative, effective training for supervisory employees under OSHA and MSHA. My approach is grounded in building lasting relationships — I believe the best outcomes come through genuine collaboration and trust developed over time.Let's connect if you're looking for a strategic partner to help you navigate workplace safety, strengthen your compliance programs, or develop industry best practices.
