Gina Bongiovi

Gina is Managing Partner of Bongiovi Law Firm, a boutique firm that provides on-demand outside counsel services to businesses of all sizes. In 2005, Gina started a marketing company and, in need of legal advice, couldn’t find a lawyer that was willing or able to help a startup like hers. After hearing similar stories from other entrepreneurs, she decided to dedicate her practice to serving startups and small businesses. Over the last ten years, Bongiovi Law Firm has grown with its clients to serve businesses of all sizes – from one owner to 100, and from those without in-house legal to those whose legal departments need to offload some work. Its attorneys pair business education with real-world experience to provide clients with business-minded legal advice that addresses all facets of business ownership. Much like Robert Duvall’s character in the Godfather, think of Bongiovi Law Firm as a business consigliere, except with considerably less violence. Gina has helped found several nonprofits – Dress for Success Southern Nevada, Vegas Shepherd Rescue, Working K9 Rescue – and is working on others. She also served on the UNLV Alumni Association Board, is former chair of Vegas Young Professionals Advisory Council; she currently serves on the Dean’s Advisory Boards for the Lee Business School and UNLV Honors College, and the Vegas Chamber Board of Trustees as Chair-Elect. She’s been honored as a Woman of Distinction by NAWBO, recognized as a Rising Star of Business by Las Vegas Business Press, listed among the Legal Elite for five years running, awarded the International Women’s Forum Carolyn Sparks Founder’s Award, was named Alumnus of the Year for both the MBA Program and, in 2020, the Lee Business School.
