Firm Overview:

McDonald Carano is the oldest preeminent full-service law firm in Nevada and is known as Nevada’s law firm for business. The firm has helped shape the legal, business, and policy landscape in Nevada for more than 70 years and many of its lawyers, government relations advisors, and professional lobbyists are third and fourth generation residents of Nevada. McDonald Carano stands out as the only state-wide mid-size law firm that has a legacy reputation as one of the prominent founding firms of Nevada’s legal community. Clients value McDonald Carano’s longevity, reliability, and practicality in its full-service ability to handle any client’s needs – transactions, litigation, regulatory compliance, general counsel services, wealth management, government relations and legislative lobbying.

From offices in Reno, Las Vegas and Carson City, McDonald Carano serves local, regional, national and international companies, private and publicly held businesses, startups and entrepreneurial entities, banking institutions and investment companies, trade associations and government entities, non-profit organizations and public-private partnerships, and select high-net-worth individuals. McDonald Carano’s clients also include other law firms that do not have offices in Nevada but have clients that need local assistance with transaction, litigation, or government affairs matters in Nevada. McDonald Carano is also highly sought after for its expertise in helping businesses of all sizes in all industries relocate to and/or expand in Nevada. McDonald Carano is the only law firm in Nevada ranked Band 1 in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide for Private Wealth Law.

The firm is a founding member of Meritas, the leading global alliance of independent full-service business law firms. McDonald Carano joined Meritas in 1990 and continues to be the only Nevada member firm serving the Nevada legal services needs of clients from other Meritas member firms that are located throughout the U.S. and in nearly 100 countries. McDonald Carano’s membership in Meritas also provides clients with a time-saving gateway to more than 180 Meritas member firms around the world. McDonald Carano is also the only Nevada member firm in State Law Resources, a network of independent law firms, one in each U.S. state capital and the District of Columbia, helping clients navigate the complex arena of administrative, regulatory and government relations.
