Etheridge Daniels works with SBSB’s Defense Base Act team, assisting with claims and litigation while developing a practice focused on the maritime industry. Having previously worked with the firm as a law clerk, Etheridge brings a detail-oriented approach to his work and a strong commitment to meeting clients’ needs.

Before law school, Etheridge spent two years as a paralegal working on transactional matters, including work with technology-focused startup companies.

He believes strong relationships with clients, opposing counsel and others involved in a matter can make the legal process smoother and more effective.

He also gained practical experience as a student attorney with Tulane’s Environmental Law Clinic. His interest in maritime matters reflects a longstanding connection to the water. A North Carolina native with ties to the Outer Banks, Etheridge enjoys offshore fishing and surfing. He also enjoys playing golf.
