McDonald Carano Receives Highest Number of Practice Group Rankings in Chambers 2022
McDonald Carano proudly announces that five of our Practice Groups received prestigious rankings in the Nevada section of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business 2022. The Nevada section evaluated law firms in seven practice areas and recognized McDonald Carano in five areas – Commercial Litigation, Corporate & Commercial Law, Environmental Law, Gaming & Licensing Law, and Real Estate Law. In Construction Law, Chambers USA does not rank Practice Groups but does rank individual attorneys and awarded George Ogilvie the highest Band 1 ranking. In a second publication titled Chambers High Net Worth Guide, our Trust & Estates Practice received its sixth consecutive highest Band 1 ranking.
Ranked Practice Groups
McDonald Carano received more practice group rankings than any other law firm in Nevada. Three of our practice groups are ranked in the highest Band 1 category – no law firm in Nevada received more than three Band 1 practice group rankings – and two of our practice groups are ranked Band 2. In addition to the Nevada section, Chambers also ranked our Gaming Law Practice in the “USA/Nationwide” section and we are the only gaming law practice in the nationwide section that only has offices in Nevada. Chambers is an independent research company that evaluates and ranks law firms and lawyers throughout the world. It provides one of the legal profession’s most respected and comprehensive guides for businesses selecting outside counsel.
