The 2017 Nevada Legislature changed the state statute (NRS Chapter 13) related to venue. Venue is a term describing where in a jurisdiction, in this case Nevada, a legal action can or should be filed. The Legislature expands through Assembly Bill 102, subject to other consumer protection laws where a civil action can be filed, but allows a defendant in a civil action to object to the venue. Hayes and Welsh has experience handling civil matters in courts throughout Nevada. We can advise our clients on both the law and the strategy for selecting the venue for an action.
