Hayes and Welsh continues to practice in the area of receivership counsel.  Hayes and Welsh is currently counsel for Receiver Lane Swainston in court appointed receiverships.  A receiver is an action where a court appoints a manager or receiver to operate a business during the pendency of litigation to maintain the status quo and to preserve assets until the resolution of the litigation.

In G.C. Wallace v. The Eighth Judicial Court of the State of Nevada  127 Nev. Adv. Op.  64  (2011),   the Nevada Supreme Court addressed the question of whether  a claim by a landlord for money damages must also be brought  at the same time of a summary eviction action.  The  Court addressed the doctrine of claims preclusion and  NRS  40.253.  The Court acknowledged  the ambiguity of the statute,  but held that  claims preclusion does not bar a landlord from bringing a separate action after summary eviction.

WPPI recently completed its 30th annual Convention and Trade Show, drawing over 12,000 attendees and 365 exhibitors to its new convention space, the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.  The Law Office of Hayes Welsh assisted in permitting for the recent show.
