Overview

Tara Lattomus helps clients negotiate hotel and resort management agreements with an eye towards avoiding future disputes and litigation. Tara’s experience allows her to understand the broad range of issues that can arise in the context of both new-build and transitioning properties and draft agreements that provide her clients with the broadest protections. She represents both large and mid-size management companies, and appreciates that different clients may have different priorities. By working daily with general counsel and other business associates, Tara has developed a real-world approach to her practice that provides great value to her clients.

Tara has been in the firm’s Delaware office since it opened in 2005.
