Award Winning Place to Work

The medallion is awarded to firms that complete at least five DEI initiatives in the categories of recruitment, retention, pipeline and community programs, and coaching and training. McDonald Carano completed more than 10 initiatives and additional DEI programs are underway.

As a business, we received the highest number of votes in two categories – Law Firm (1st place) and Most Philanthropic Company with more than 30 employees (1st place). Five of team members also received recognitions.
