Jaclyn (Jaci) McNally Appointed Firmwide Co-Chair of Hospitality Industry Group

CHICAGO (July 19, 2023)—Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that Real Estate & Land Use Partner Jaclyn (Jaci) McNally has been named co-chair of its top-ranked Hospitality industry group. Jaci joins long-standing co-chair Daniel Marre.

Jaci, based in the firm's Chicago office, has extensive experience advising public and private companies, private equity funds, and lenders in all aspects of commercial real estate transactions, including real estate acquisitions and dispositions, development projects, and real estate financings. She is particularly experienced in hospitality transactions, including negotiating hotel purchase and sale agreements, franchise agreements, and hotel management agreements.

Having served as co-chair of the firm's Hospitality group for 10 years, Daniel is a recognized leader in the space and has been involved in a number of high-profile hotel transactions over the years. His hotel clients range from small boutiques to some of the world's largest hotels and management companies. Daniel guides them through the complexities of hotel projects and the distinct legal challenges of owning and operating a hotel.

"I have no doubt that Jaci, together with Daniel, will spearhead continued growth and increase our already strong presence in the hospitality industry," said Kris Wilson, Perkins Coie's firmwide chair of the national Real Estate & Land Use practice. "Jaci's and Daniel's depth of knowledge and experience, combined with their commitment to collaboration, make them excellent leaders for this group."

Perkins Coie's nationally ranked Hospitality industry group has one of the most active hotel practices in the country and includes nearly 50 lawyers—many of whom started the firm's hospitality practice over 20 years ago and have been working on hotel deals even before the group existed. This depth of industry experience allows the group to anticipate and address the concerns of all relevant parties, from owners and franchisors to lenders and management companies.

Perkins Coie is a leading international law firm that is known for providing high-value, strategic solutions and extraordinary client service on matters vital to our clients' success.
