Best Lawyers in America Recognizes 10 Women Lawyers from 8 Practice Groups
McDonald Carano proudly announces that 10 women lawyers from eight Practice Groups in our Reno and Las Vegas offices have been recognized in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Entirely based on peer review, the Best Lawyers methodology reflects the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities and reputations of their colleagues practicing in the same area of law and same geographic region.
McDonald Carano also congratulates Jane Susskind on receiving “Ones to Watch” recognition in The Best Lawyers in America, which is the category for “lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years for demonstrating outstanding professional excellence.” Ones to Watch recognition is also based on peer review and only one lawyer receives the recognition for achieving the highest peer review ratings in one or more specific areas of practice in a geographic region. Jane received “Ones to Watch” recognition in Appellate and Commercial Litigation for the Reno region.
