Choosing a law firm to begin or advance your legal career is a daunting task. Most of the large firms in Nevada have similar practice areas, represent similar clients, have nice offices, and make the same claims to providing quality representation to their clients. However, differences exist between firms, and the differences at McDonald Carano Wilson make it the best law firm in Nevada in which to work. We are extremely proud to say we were recently awarded as one of the Greater Reno-Tahoe "Best Places to Work."

Throughout the last 60 years, we have developed a culture within the firm that is the backbone of our organization. We emphasize the highest levels of professionalism and integrity in dealing with our clients and with lawyers in other firms, but equally important to us is an emphasis on treating our lawyers and employees with the same level of respect and professionalism. We have created a collaborative and friendly environment in which all of our professionals know each other and are comfortable interacting with each other. Finally, we have strong connections to the state and to the communities in which we live.

We believe that McDonald Carano Wilson is the best law firm in Nevada because, while we all have different interests and backgrounds, we share a commitment to each other, to the firm, to our communities, and to providing top quality representation to our clients.

Based on these principles, we hire intelligent, motivated, creative, and personable individuals who share our goals. Over the years, we have found that these traits, along with a willingness to operate in a collegial environment and to practice law with the highest levels of personal integrity, are the main factors that lead to a successful career at our firm. Our strategic plan for the future begins with hiring talented individuals to work in our summer program, and then train and develop them so that they will eventually become partners in the firm.

By adhering to these practices, our firm has enjoyed steady growth with very high levels of attorney and staff retention. We have found that once lawyers start at the firm, they enjoy great satisfaction in working together and helping to foster and promote the firm's goals. We make every effort to provide the training and the environment to help our lawyers succeed both personally and professionally.

We hire lawyers directly from law school and from judicial clerkships. We also make lateral hires from the private and public sectors.
