Celebrating Over 75 Years of Serving Nevada’s Legal, Business, Government, and Civic Communities

Congratulating Our “Ones to Watch” Award Winners from Best Lawyers

McDonald Carano congratulates Dan Aquino, Eric Duhon, John Fortin, and Jane Susskind on receiving “Ones to Watch” recognition in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. The award recognizes “extraordinary lawyers who have been in private practice less than 10 years for outstanding professional excellence.” Only one lawyer receives the award for achieving the highest peer review ratings in one or more areas of practice in one geographic region. 

In 2020, The Best Lawyers in America introduced the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch awards to recognize “the most elite rising legal talent in the country” and “highlight the legal talent of up-and-comers.”
