40 Under 40: Mary Bacon, Partner, Spencer Fane LLP

Mary Bacon

From an early age, Mary Bacon knew that pursuing a career in law would give her a voice. Now, a successful business litigation attorney, she uses her voice to enact meaningful change.

Bacon’s litigation practice is focused on complex civil litigation in both state and federal court, involving construction disputes, breach of contract actions and defending financial institutions. She is not just a leader in the legal industry; she is a humble and passionate community advocate. She is currently working on a case with the ACLU of Nevada and has worked with Assemblyman David Orentlicher on social justice legislation.

As an active volunteer with Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Bacon provides more than 100 hours a year of pro bono services to low-income Nevadans. She mentors high school and college students, and is a board member of Children's Advocacy Alliance, a nonprofit committed to lobbying for children's rights.
