"He is the consummate labor and employment generalist ? the 'complete package' with an outstanding reputation in the region ? particularly within the gaming and hospitality industries. He gives us instant visibility and credibility in a highly competitive market that otherwise would take years to achieve."
Joining Mr. Moss in the Las Vegas office is associate Paul Trimmer.
