3RD PLACE MCDONALD CARANO WILSON LLP W hen Robert McDonald co-founded leading Nevada law firm McDonald Carano Wilson LLP in 1949, he coined a corporate maxim that continues to drive the multi-specialty practice group, which has offices in Las Vegas and Reno and employs some 125 total lawyers and legal professionals, including about 45 locally. “Bob always said, ‘Staff comes first,’ and that policy has been adopted down to the current management,” said attorney George Ogilvie III, who joined the firm in 1992 and serves as managing partner of the Las Vegas office. “Every employee from the most junior part-time currier to the most senior partner is treated relatively the same. We pride ourselves on lack of ego, and certainly everyone contributes to a team-oriented approach in servicing clients’ needs. Also, we don’t have yellers and screamers in upper management, so staff is comfortable in approaching management and expressing ideas.” Ogilvie said flexibility is also paramount to the firm’s corporate culture, adding that the company strives to accommodate the needs of the staff. “If employees need to be out of the office for health or parental reasons, we are flexible in trying to accommodate them, although we are sometimes limited by positions to grant flexibility,” said Ogilvie, who also alluded to another factor that may endear its employees to the company. “We’ve always had a fairly conservative fiscal policy, and that boded well for us heading into the recession. Although there has been some natural attrition, we haven’t had to impose layoffs or salary reductions, so there has been no real economic impact to employees of the firm.” — Danielle Birkin P R E M I E R E I S S U E RANKINGS: SMALL (26 TO 100 EMPLOYEES) Rank Company Name Score 1 Craig P.
