As more individuals and businesses become entrenched in the political process, impacted by rulemaking at the federal, state and local levels, the need for a team that gets the job done is critical. McDonald Carano’s Government Affairs & Advocacy Group is that team. Our attorneys and professional lobbyists comprise the largest and arguably most influential team in Nevada. We are acutely aware of the challenges facing our clients, and we know that each response requires nuance and tact. We are known for developing consensus within conflict, for having deep-rooted connections across industries and geographies, for bridging gaps among divergent groups, and for being the hardest workers in the room. We have a keen instinct for business-friendly policies and a mastery of collaborative efforts.

When faced with a government affairs issue, our clients need lawyers and advisors with the wisdom, know-how and experience to leverage an integrated approach. In Nevada’s rapidly changing political environment, a nimble team that capitalizes on its disparate perspectives to create a successful solution is warranted. We are a politically bipartisan group, with coverage that spans the entire state, and our uniquely diverse makeup yields results for clients. With deep connections on both sides of the aisle and at every layer of government, we open doors quickly. And when our team advocates for an issue, it is heard with respect—we have a hard-earned reputation for integrity, of which we are proud. We combine the skills developed as attorneys and traditional lobbyists with the wisdom gleaned from extensive governmental experience in the private and public sectors. We are advocates who can develop a strategy that addresses all aspects of the matter—the legal issues, legislative and regulatory hurdles, media scrutiny, and any long-term political or business implications. But a strategy is only as successful as its execution. Our team is known for its extensive network of relationships in every corner of the state. No matter where our clients need us, we are there, leveraging our knowledge and contacts to craft impactful solutions for clients doing business in Nevada.
