Jaime L. Lee ’06, JD ’09  

Trustee, University of Southern California, CEO, Jamison Realty, Inc. and Past President, USC Alumni Association Board of Governors

Jamison CEO Jaime Lee has officially been working in commercial real estate since 2007 but growing up around her family’s commercial real estate business Lee was exposed to the business as a teenager, working in virtually every role in the company. As the CEO of the Jamison group of companies, Lee is the undeniable face of the family owned commercial real estate enterprise with a market capitalization of over $3 billion that operates 18 million square feet of office, multifamily, and retail properties throughout Southern California, generating $390 million in annual rental revenue.

Daniel Prince ’00, MA ’02

President, USC Alumni Association Board of Governors and Partner; LA Litigation Department Chair, Paul Hastings LLP

Daniel Prince, chair of Paul Hastings’ Litigation Department in Los Angeles and hiring partner for that office, is regarded as a leading litigator of his generation, with high-profile victories under his belt and mounting successes in bet-the-company matters under way. His experience and capabilities run the litigation gamut from corporate and government investigations to complex litigation matters, domestic and international arbitrations, trials and class actions. Prince led the Paul Hastings team to a complete victory for client Rear Admiral Bruce Loveless (Ret.) in the case involving an alleged overcharge of the US Navy of more than $35 million. Prince played a key role in securing a jury verdict for Admiral Loveless and in the court’s decision to drop all other charges against four other defendants post-trial.
