Listed among The Best Lawyers in America in Government Relations Practice and head of the firm’s Government Affairs & Advocacy Group, Josh Hicks represents clients before the Nevada Legislature, local governments and state government agencies, as well as advises on all aspects of Nevada campaign finance and election law, including ballot initiatives. Notably, Hicks also provides legal counsel on local jurisdiction tax matters ranging from tax planning to litigated tax controversies.

Hicks also worked closely with legislators on bills in areas of Nevada law, including energy regulation, renewable energy incentives, taxation, water and natural resources, telecommunications, transportation, financial regulation, stimulus funds, gaming, healthcare, elections, wildlife, and fire prevention initiatives at Lake Tahoe. In addition, Hicks was involved in the development of the state budget, including appropriations and expenditures. He was instrumental in developing the tax amnesty program, used by Nevada in 2008, to bring in more than $40 million in unpaid taxes. Moreover, Hicks assisted with the budget crisis and supported Nevada taxpayers with relief from penalties and interest on outstanding tax debt. Hicks was also the Governor’s primary liaison with federal, state and local government agencies and business and industry representatives.

An influential advocate and charismatic speaker, Hicks has testified on numerous occasions before various state legislative committees, including the Senate Finance, Assembly Ways and Means and the Interim Finance Committees. An effective communicator and prolific author, Hicks continues to draft and revise legislation and administrative regulations.
