With the glittering lights of its world-renowned gaming casinos, metropolitan Las Vegas is the brightest city on Earth when viewed from space.  Traditionally, a large portion of the Las Vegas economy has been directly related to gaming, but in recent years this self-proclaimed “Entertainment Capital of the World” has diversified into other sectors, such as hotel complexes, office buildings and housing.  The legal environment has evolved along with the community, and Wilson Elser is uniquely positioned to represent clients in this city.

Our firm established its presence in 2005 to serve the city’s expanding commercial market.  Now, with the slowdown in growth evident everywhere in Las Vegas, businesses need to re-evaluate key decisions and their legal implications.  The need to carefully plan and preempt financial exposure is paramount, and this effort can be assisted by incisive legal services.  Indeed, economic sluggishness and trepidation can be seen throughout Nevada.  Accordingly, Wilson Elser’s Las Vegas office provides legal representation to clients across the state.

Wilson Elser’s attorneys in Las Vegas are deeply rooted in the region, with successful practices serving clients for more than 30 years.  This local team offers wide experience in civil litigation at all levels of both the state and federal courts.  The downturn in growth in Las Vegas has resulted in litigation in many arenas, and our attorneys have tackled the resulting challenges.
