With her strong relationship building abilities, Katie Jones excels at bridging differing viewpoints and constructing mutually beneficial solutions among all parties. She partners with investment funds, fund sponsors, real estate advisors, developers, public and private pension funds, and institutional lenders on sophisticated real property acquisitions and dispositions, secured financings, hospitality, construction and development, joint ventures and other corporate real estate activities.
With a particular passion for the hospitality sector, Jones manages nearly all of Orrick’s hotel transactions throughout the United States. She has in-depth knowledge of the legal and contractual aspects unique to the hotel industry including construction contracts, hotel management and franchise agreements in addition to more standard loan documentation, joint venture, and purchase and sale agreements.
These are some of the reasons that we named Jones to our Seattle & Pacific Northwest grouping of Lawyers in Real Estate. These are real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in both their practice and the larger community.
