About McDonald Carano LLP
McDonald Carano LLP's Business Entities & Transactions group handles mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and dissolutions governed by Nevada corporate, LLC, and partnership law, including purchases and sales of companies and their assets, private equity deals, and the secured financing behind a transaction. It also represents buyers picking up business assets from companies in bankruptcy. Its clients range from entrepreneurs and fast-growth businesses to middle-market companies and large national and global corporations doing business in Nevada, and for smaller owner-run businesses the group often acts as their outside general counsel. The firm practices from offices in Reno, Las Vegas, and Carson City. It forms and governs corporations, LLCs, and partnerships, moves companies into Nevada, and converts a company's state of incorporation from another state to Nevada. Its lawyers draw on the firm's tax, real estate, and gaming practices when a deal needs them, and national and global law firms bring McDonald Carano in as Nevada counsel on their clients' transactions.
