McDonald Carano congratulates Sylvia Harrison on her 18th year of receiving a prestigious ranking in Environmental Law from Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business.

Sylvia joined McDonald Carano after graduating first in her law school class and for more than 30 years she has been a prominent force in our Environment & Natural Resources Law Practice, which received the highest Band 1 ranking in Chambers USA 2022.
During the ranking evaluation process, clients described Sylvia to Chambers as:
- “She is a good operator whom we hold in very high regard,”
