Hooks Meng & Clement

What Hooks Meng & Clement does

Hooks Meng & Clement (HM&C) is a Nevada-based B2B law firm founded in 2004 by Dalton L. Hooks, Jr., specializing in industrial relations law with a focus on workers' compensation defense. The firm serves employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators, operating from two offices in Las Vegas (headquarters) and Carson City, and employs approximately 50 team members including Partners, Associates, Hearing Advocates, and support staff.

The firm's core product offering comprises five specialized practice areas: Workers' Compensation (claims defense across administrative hearings, state court, and appellate work), Occupational Safety & Health Solutions (federal and Nevada OSHA compliance, citation resolution, and litigation), Division of Industrial Relations (appeals, criminal investigations, and uninsured employer matters), Subsequent Injury (recovery of expenditures for employers and insurers), and Subrogation (recovery of workers' compensation benefits from third parties). Four ancillary practice areas — Personal Bankruptcy, General Litigation, Personal Injury, and Estate Planning — supplement the industrial relations core. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's competitive differentiation rests on its roster of former Nevada OSHA inspectors, former DIR administrators, former Workers' Compensation Appeals Officers, and its claim of holding more certified Workers' Compensation Specialists than any other Nevada law firm.

HM&C generates revenue through professional services fees — primarily hourly billing for litigation and consultation services — under a quote-based model determined by case complexity, practice area, and attorney seniority. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales supported by content marketing, attorney speaking engagements at industry events (Sterling, NBI, NSIA, RIMS, NDPC), and a referral/reputation network built over 20+ years. Customer concentration leans toward large institutional clients (Farmers Insurance, Boyd Gaming, ESIS, Argo, Helmsman), and the firm has expanded via lateral partner acquisitions, notably absorbing Dan Schwartz, John Lavery, and their team from Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP in February 2024.
