Chambers USA Recognizes Four Gaming Law Attorneys

McDonald Carano congratulates A.J. “Bud” Hicks, A.G. Burnett, Greg Giordano and Dennis Gutwald on receiving prominent recognition in Gaming Law in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business. Chambers is the highly respected guide for hiring outside counsel who are considered by clients and peers to be leaders in their field. McDonald Carano is one of only two firms with four attorneys ranked in Gaming Law in the state of Nevada.

In addition to recognizing four attorneys, Chambers recognized our Gaming Law practice (which includes Rick Trachok and Kelci Binau) in both the Nevada and the USA/Nationwide chapters. McDonald Carano is the only Nevada-headquartered firm that is recognized for its nationwide Gaming Law reputation. McDonald Carano would like to further recognize Bud and Greg for each achieving 19 consecutive years of recognition in Chambers.
