“David offers clients an experienced perspective and is able to help them decide the appropriate path to take to reach their business goals. He also advises clients on how to put legal measures in place now in order to avoid or minimize adverse risk or exposure in the future. He is an excellent choice to represent the ELA in Northern Nevada,” said Mary Ellen Simonson, leader of the firm’s Labor and Employment practice and member of the ELA Board of Directors.
