Sklar Williams PLLC
Premier Las Vegas Commercial Boutique Firm
Sklar Williams PLLC was organized to represent the business interests of local, national, and multi-national companies doing business in Nevada. The firm has chosen to restrict its practice to commercial transactions and litigation to enhance our ability to provide exceptional and efficient legal services. Our clients include many leading business concerns from a variety of industries and numerous prominent entrepreneurs and is AV Preeminent Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
Focus on the Client
We are committed to obtaining the best resolution for our clients in the most cost-effective, time efficient manner possible. Our clients come from a variety of different industries, each with unique business concerns. Our attorneys know that no two matters are exactly alike, nor should they be treated the same. We meticulously analyze our transactions and commercial litigation and other matters, listen closely to what our clients tell us in order to ensure that we understand their objectives, and develop unique solutions tailored to achieve the client's goals. We recognize that developing and maintaining long-term relationships with clients is a key ingredient to better serving our clients' needs and to our own success; historically, most of our work has been for clients with whom our attorneys have long and close relationships. In representing our clients, we emphasize teamwork, pooling together our combined knowledge and experience with that of our clients and their financial and other professional advisors. When clients turn to our firm, they reap the benefit of all of our attorneys' knowledge and experience, combined synergistically with the client's talent and expertise.
What We Are and What We Are Not
The firm is comprised of outstanding and experienced attorneys with expertise in a broad range of areas. Our attorneys strive to offer practical and creative solutions to our clients' legal problems. Our firm eschews the trend of continuously expanding law firms seeking to furnish advice to clients in all facets of business and the law; we believe that we can best meet our clients' needs and provide the personal responsiveness and attention required in the small "boutique" setting that Sklar Williams offers. We have also departed from the traditional law firm "pyramid" model, wherein most work is performed by a large contingent of young and inexperienced attorneys, functioning under the direction of more senior attorneys. Rather, all of our active attorneys have at least twenty years' experience, which allows us to deliver to our clients responsive, excellent, and cost-effective service and legal representation.

Sklar Williams PLLC was organized to represent the business interests of local, national, and multi-national companies doing business in Nevada. The firm has chosen to restrict its practice to commercial transactions and litigation to enhance our ability to provide exceptional and efficient legal services. Our clients include many leading business concerns from a variety of industries and numerous prominent entrepreneurs and is AV Preeminent Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
Focus on the Client
We are committed to obtaining the best resolution for our clients in the most cost-effective, time efficient manner possible. Our clients come from a variety of different industries, each with unique business concerns. Our attorneys know that no two matters are exactly alike, nor should they be treated the same. We meticulously analyze our transactions and commercial litigation and other matters, listen closely to what our clients tell us in order to ensure that we understand their objectives, and develop unique solutions tailored to achieve the client's goals. We recognize that developing and maintaining long-term relationships with clients is a key ingredient to better serving our clients' needs and to our own success; historically, most of our work has been for clients with whom our attorneys have long and close relationships. In representing our clients, we emphasize teamwork, pooling together our combined knowledge and experience with that of our clients and their financial and other professional advisors. When clients turn to our firm, they reap the benefit of all of our attorneys' knowledge and experience, combined synergistically with the client's talent and expertise.
What We Are and What We Are Not
The firm is comprised of outstanding and experienced attorneys with expertise in a broad range of areas. Our attorneys strive to offer practical and creative solutions to our clients' legal problems. Our firm eschews the trend of continuously expanding law firms seeking to furnish advice to clients in all facets of business and the law; we believe that we can best meet our clients' needs and provide the personal responsiveness and attention required in the small "boutique" setting that Sklar Williams offers. We have also departed from the traditional law firm "pyramid" model, wherein most work is performed by a large contingent of young and inexperienced attorneys, functioning under the direction of more senior attorneys. Rather, all of our active attorneys have at least twenty years' experience, which allows us to deliver to our clients responsive, excellent, and cost-effective service and legal representation.
