Las Vegas is widely reported to be the fastest-growing city in the country. People from around the United States are drawn to Las Vegas by its strong economy, great lifestyle, and reasonable cost of living. There are tremendous
job opportunities in Las Vegas in all areas, including law. The city is home to booming construction, real estate, and travel industries that create a tremendous amount of legal work, both litigation-related and transactional.
There are many excellent law firms here, including Las Vegas-based firms and branch offices of national and regional firms, which offer the opportunity to work on cutting-edge legal work. They represent the city's banks, casinos, resorts, and developers, among other clients. Many of the firms are located in nice corporate parks that have attractive grounds, easily accessible parking, and restaurants nearby.
Because Nevada does not have admissions reciprocity with any other jurisdictions, any attorney who wishes to practice here must become admitted to the Nevada Bar. While admission to the Nevada Bar is not always an absolute prerequisite to being hired here (especially for transactional candidates), those attorneys who are already admitted to the Nevada Bar will have a leg up on the competition.
While many people associate Las Vegas with The Strip, there is a tremendous amount to do and see outside of The Strip; indeed, many of the city's residents rarely or never visit The Strip. For example, Las Vegas has some of the best shopping around, at places such as Fashion Show and the Las Vegas Premium Outlets. And while The Strip is home to some of the nation's top restaurants, other areas of Las Vegas boast outstanding eateries as well. Those who enjoy the outdoors will find an endless array of activities in Las Vegas. Golf courses and tennis courts abound, and there are numerous places to hike, such as Red Rock Canyon. Lake Mead and Lake Las Vegas offer opportunities for those who love water sports.
When it comes to finding a place to live, Las Vegas has many attractive options. There are numerous master-planned communities that offer gracious living, excellent amenities, and good schools for a reasonable price, as well as older neighborhoods that have traditionally been home to many of the city's professionals. For those who prefer to live in an urban environment, there are some appealing choices near or on The Strip as well.
In sum, Las Vegas presents exciting opportunities for anyone seeking sophisticated
legal work in an attractive, vibrant environment. It offers world-class shopping, dining, resorts, and entertainment in an environment that is family-friendly and reasonably priced. And its booming growth shows no signs of slowing down; we predict that this will be the place to live and work for many years to come.

BCG Attorney Search has extensive experience in the Las Vegas legal market. We have successfully placed attorneys with firms of all sizes and specialties in Las Vegas as well as the entire Southwest. Many of BCG Attorney Search’s recruiters are attorneys themselves, with law degrees from top law schools and experience working in the country’s most prestigious law firms. We know what it takes to excel in the legal profession and understand what firms are looking for in candidates at every level of practice. BCG recruiters are committed to helping attorney candidates and law firms forge long-term and mutually beneficial employment relationships.
BCG’s “Hands On” Approach; Database Advantage
One aspect of BCG’s recruiting style that differs from that of our competitors is our “hands on” approach to recruiting. Our recruiters stay with their candidates from the beginning of the process to the end. We take the time to get to know each candidate face-to-face. We strive for excellence and to exceed expectations by getting to know each attorney personally, as opposed to just compiling facts on paper about a candidate’s academic and law firm record. We walk our candidate attorneys through every step in the recruiting process and ensure they learn as much as possible about the law firms before they go to interviews. Then, we follow up after each interview with the attorney and the law firm to ensure that both parties had an ideal experience and obtained the information they need to make future decisions.
The BCG database is unparalleled in the legal recruiting industry. Our database far exceeds that of our competitors and we are confident that we have the most prestigious attorneys available for the top law firms throughout Las Vegas and the Southwest. We go above and beyond to provide access to the best law firm positions for each attorney with whom we work.
Placements in the United States and Beyond
BCG recruiters have cultivated lifelong relationships with the best law firms in the Southwest, as well as throughout the entire United States and around the globe. We constantly study market trends and we know precisely what each firm is looking for at all times. We take the time to understand each firm’s culture, personality and expectations. We are committed to ensuring that every attorney we send to a law firm can and will succeed, not only for the attorney’s sake but also for the sake of the law firm.
Ethics are of paramount concern at BCG. We maintain a very strict Code of Conduct with the attorneys with whom we work. This means that we do not share any information about an attorney with any law firm unless the attorney has given us permission. Moreover, we believe that confidentiality must be maintained at all times.
