Latham & Watkins is moving to boost its real estate offerings with the addition of former Dentons’ partner Meghan Cocci, who is joining as a partner and global co-chairwoman of the firm’s hospitality, gaming and leisure group, the firm said Thursday.

Cocci, named one of The National Law Journal’s Outstanding Women Lawyers in 2015, helped lead Dentons’ global hotels and leisure practice, from Phoenix, Arizona. At Latham, she’ll be based in New York to start and will grow a practice in Los Angeles, the firm said.
