A.G. Burnett Receives 2nd Lawyer of the Year Award in Gaming Law from Best Lawyers
McDonald Carano congratulates A.G. Burnett for receiving his second Lawyer of the Year award in Gaming Law from The Best Lawyers in America. A.G. received the award in the 2023 and 2020 editions of Best Lawyers. Best Lawyers recognizes only the top 6% of practicing lawyers and only one lawyer receives the Lawyer of the Year award for achieving the highest ratings in a specific area of law and geographic region. Best Lawyers recognition is based entirely on a peer review process that evaluates the professional abilities and quality of legal services provided by lawyers who are practicing in the same geographic region and area of law.
We also congratulate A.G. for numerous additional awards and rankings, including also being recognized in both Gaming & Licensing Law/Nevada and Gaming & Licensing Law/US Nationwide in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business. Clients describe A.G. to Chambers researchers as “He’s got unbelievable insight into the gaming regulatory world. He has a great network and understands how the regulators think.” “A dynamic team player who strives for win/win solutions to complex problems.”
A.G. is a member of the Nevada Advisory Committee of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a member of the Board of Trustees and the Regulator Relations Committee of the International Association of Gaming Advisors, and a member of the Gaming Law Advisory Board of the UNLV William S.
