LAS VEGAS - s4story -- Fennemore Craig, a leading law firm in the Mountain West, announced that nine of its attorneys have been named to Nevada Business Magazine's 2019 Legal Elite list and five attorneys to its list of Best Up & Coming Attorneys. Compiled each year, the Legal Elite is a list that showcases Nevada's top attorney's chosen by their peers.

"It's an incredible honor for so many of our attorneys to be named a Legal Elite by Nevada Business Magazine," said Craig Etem, managing partner of Fennemore Craig's Reno, NV office. "This award is a testament to the incredible work Fennemore Craig attorneys do across the Silver State to help our clients thrive. I'd like to congratulate my fellow recipients for this well-deserved recognition."

Now in its twelfth year, the Legal Elite list recognizes only the top 3 percent of attorneys in Nevada. Nearly 5,000 nominations were submitted by Nevada lawyers, and each submission went through an extensive verification and scoring process based on the number received and weighted depending on if a nomination came from within the attorney's own firm or if they were selected by another firm.

"This list confirms what we have long known to be true: Fennemore Craig lawyers are in a class of their own and constantly go above and beyond for clients. I'd like to offer my congratulations to the 14 attorneys recognized by their peers as Nevada's Legal Elite and Up & Coming lawyers," said James Goodnow, Fennemore Craig's president and managing partner.
