November 2023 Luncheon Meeting

Will Brownlee is an attorney licensed in GA, SC, and NC, and is the co-founder of two law firms serving landlords:  Loebsack & Brownlee, PLLC, and Brownlee Whitlow & Praet, PLLC .  Over the course of his career, Will has focused almost entirely on all aspects of landlord-tenant law, including evictions, fair housing, regulatory compliance, lease forms drafting, and as a registered lobbyist, to name a few.  In his service to the housing industry, Will has served on state and local apartment association boards, as well as serving as the Executive Director of the Apartment Association of NC (AANC) and serving as author of its lease forms and legal handbook, and also serving as a consultant to the National Apartment Association (NAA) on its lease forms library and serving on its Lease Forms Committee.  In all, Will has served the rental industry for over 25 years, though “semi-retiring” in 2018 but continuing to serve as Of Counsel for the two law firms bearing his name and still regularly appears in court for eviction cases in Georgia and South Carolina.  Will credits his wife (a now-retired property manager who met Will when leasing him his first apartment before law school, a funny story) for introducing him to the rental industry and teaching him (almost) everything worth knowing.
