Her years working in the California State Legislature, Los Angeles City Hall and as a private sector consultant have prepared Renee Schillaci for the biggest challenges of public affairs consulting.
"Working with clients and communities to resolve issues and move forward is very satisfying,” she says. “Building relationships and understanding is really the only way to succeed.”
At Greer/Dailey, Renee has provided counsel to developers, as well as institutions such as schools and synagogues, guiding them through the development process and providing follow-up with a variety of government agencies.

“When companies, individuals, or institutions meet the tangle of government bureaucracies, it’s always helpful to have a guide,” she says. “I enjoy finding the right way to achieve results.”
Renee is a seasoned land use planner and political strategist with an extensive career in the public sector, working on numerous development projects in Los Angeles.
A former Los Angeles City Council Deputy Chief of Staff, Renee worked with Councilmember Jack Weiss on district and citywide planning issues, where her responsibilities included working with representatives of the community and developers to address controversial land use issues, as well as representing the Councilmember at key public hearings.
