By Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

S. A.
Bryan is a partner at Lionel Sawyer & Collins in the Administrative Law Department and a member of the Firm's Executive Committee.*1 His practice emphasis focuses on government relations at the Federal, state and local level, particularly in the areas of gaming, mining, and public land use issues. He is the Firm¡¦s designated representative for LEX MUNDI, a global organization of major law firms, and the designated representative for the State Capital Global Law Firm Group, also a global organization of major law firms. Based in the Firm¡¦s Las Vegas office, Senator Bryan also spends time between the Firm¡¦s other offices in Reno, Carson City and Washington, D.C.
Lionel Sawyer & Collins (LS&C), a professional corporation, with over 85 attorneys, is the largest private law firm in Nevada. They are a business-oriented law firm with full service offices in Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City and Washington D.C..*2
The firm was founded in 1967 when Grant Sawyer ended his second term as Governor of Nevada and joined with Sam Lionel, a well-known litigator and business lawyer. In 1972, Jon Collins, a former Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, became part of the firm. Building on the unique contributions of Lionel, Sawyer and Collins and the many talented people who joined them, the firm has been an integral part of the growth of business in Nevada for over 30 years.
As a result of LS&C's long involvement in Nevada, they are in a unique position to aid clients whose interests bring them into contact with Nevada government, Nevada courts or Nevada business opportunities. Their practice, however, often takes people beyond Nevada, especially with matters relating to gaming regulation. They believe their Gaming Law Department is the largest and most respected anywhere.
Together with all the other attorneys at the firm, Richard believes that they are mindful that they are a service organization existing solely to provide quality legal services to the clients who entrust their matters to LS&C. The firm takes that trust seriously. It's goal is to find a way to achieve the clients' aims as efficiently and economically as they can.*3

Recently he has served as an Adjunct Professor of Political Science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Senator Bryan is also an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.
A native Nevadan, Senator Bryan started his legal career in 1964 as a Deputy District Attorney in Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada. Two years later, he was named Clark County¡¦s first Public Defender. In 1968 Richard Bryan was elected to the Nevada State Assembly. He was re-elected to the State Assembly in 1970. In 1972, he was elected to the State Senate and re-elected in 1976. The former prosecutor won his first statewide election as Nevada¡¦s Attorney General where he played a major role in successfully defending Nevada¡¦s gaming regulatory structure in the Federal Courts. In 1982, he was elected to the first of two terms as Governor. As Nevada¡¦s Governor, economic diversification and the attraction of new businesses to Nevada became a priority. In 1988 he was elected to the first of two terms in the U.S. Senate and was the only member of the U.S. Senate to sit on the following committees: Finance, Banking and Commerce.*4
