Helping Clients Navigate Nevada’s Ever-Changing Legal, Business and Government Landscape

McDonald Carano provides legal services and government affairs and advocacy advice to startups, corporations, trade associations, nonprofits, public entities, high-net-worth individuals, investors, and public-private partnerships throughout Nevada.

We are the only remaining Nevada-headquartered full-service statewide law firm that helped establish Nevada’s legal community when the Firm was founded more than 70 years ago. McDonald Carano proudly maintains our “Battle Born” reputation as we continue to thrive and grow as an independent Nevada law firm. McDonald Carano was founded, built and sustained by people who love Nevada. We are multigenerational Nevadans with deep ties to this great State.

McDonald Carano has more than 60 attorneys and government affairs professionals who serve local, national, and international clients with interests across our State. Our reputation as the go-to law firm in Nevada is underscored by our role as the exclusive Nevada firm in both Meritas and State Law Resources.

Putting clients first—and delivering innovative, pragmatic solutions—is at the heart of what we do, whether navigating critical transactions, complex litigation, or complicated legislation. We are here to guide you through whatever challenges and opportunities come your way.
