Emily K. McNally

As an Associate Attorney at BrownWinick, I work primarily in the Real Estate and Business & Corporate Law practice groups. I aim to empower clients as we work together to reach your desired goals by prioritizing what is most important to you. I understand that each legal issue presents its own unique challenges and I want to provide advice that is specific to your needs. I am committed to learning about you to help find practical and effective solutions that best serve your interests, values, and short- and long-term objectives

My Approach

My approach as your attorney includes emphasizing collaboration, clear communication, and truly listening to you to get to know your “why.” I strive to find a strategy and approach that efficiently and effectively assists you in advancing your interests. I went to law school because I want to help people solve problems and I will work hard to help you reach the outcome you envision, while keeping you informed throughout the process. I am here to help you make decisions that are right for you.   

More About Me

I grew up in Aurora, Colorado and found my way to Iowa when I attended Simpson College for my undergraduate degree where I played softball for the Storm. I graduated in 2021 with degrees in Business Management and Psychology. I then attended Drake University Law School, where I graduated in 2024, with Highest Honors. Upon graduation, I earned membership to the Order of the Coif and was admitted to the Iowa Bar in 2024.  

While at Drake Law, I was an Editor for the Drake University Law Review, served as a Legal Research Teaching Assistant and a Research Assistant for Professor Kende. I had the privilege to work as a student attorney in the Children’s Rights Clinic, representing children in Guardianship and Child in Need of Assistance cases. I was also a student member of the Blackstone Inn of Court, creating invaluable connections with attorneys in Des Moines and keeping up to date with current legal issues.  

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching sports, listening to podcasts, and enjoying the great outdoors.
