As we open this first 2026 edition of Legal Matters, we find ourselves reflecting on a journey that began exactly three decades ago. In 1996, the Firm was established with a clear yet ambitious vision: to build a premier, homegrown practice rooted in Nevada's unique landscape while providing the highest level of legal advocacy and personal service to the people and businesses we serve. Today, we are proud to have grown into one of the largest firms born and raised in this State, and we are humbled by the trust you continue to place in us.
The year 2026 is a momentous one, not only for the Firm, but for the entire nation. As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are honored to align our own milestone with this historic Semi-quincentennial. You may have already noticed our commemorative "250/30" logo appearing in recent communications and advertisements. This theme reflects our deep gratitude for the freedoms and legal foundations of our country that allow a firm like ours to thrive, serve its community, and stand the test of time.
Beyond legal excellence, we have always been defined by our connection to the communities we serve. Our growth has been shaped by Nevada itself, and we remain deeply committed to supporting the local organizations and initiatives that make this State such a dynamic place to live and work. Throughout the year, we will be honoring this dual celebration through several initiatives and campaigns that reflect both our history and our continued evolution.
While we are eager to share more, we are saving deeper reflections on our journey, proudest moments, community milestones, and the Firm's expansion for a special "Big 30th Anniversary" issue coming later this summer.
For now, we simply want to say thank you. Whether you have been with us since 1996 or have joined our client family more recently, you are the reason we continue to strive for excellence in every matter we handle. We look forward to celebrating this landmark year with you.
Thank you.
