Dylan Ciciliano

Dylan is a relentless commercial litigator built for the hard cases — the ones that turn on uncovering complex schemes, control of a company, the conduct of the people running it, and the evidence those people would rather no one ever found.

Dylan’s practice sits at the intersection of high-stakes business litigation and fiduciary accountability. He prosecutes and defends claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and civil conspiracy, corporate governance and control disputes, partnership and LLC-member fights, and RICO and related statutory claims. Whether the objective is a jury verdict, an injunction that stops offending conduct, or a recovery that makes wronged creditors and stakeholders whole. While each cases is different, he is not afraid to approach matters aggressively, but still with a trial lawyer’s eye for the story the documents tell.

A defining part of Dylan’s work is representing the fiduciaries charged with cleaning up other people’s messes — court-appointed receivers, bankruptcy trustees, and liquidating trustees. These clients inherit distressed and often plundered enterprises and are tasked with a hard mandate: take control, find the assets, figure out what happened, and recover what belongs to the estate. Dylan is the litigator who makes that mandate real.
He regularly wins the emergency relief these engagements demand — securing temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and the appointment of receivers to seize control of a business and freeze its assets before insiders can move them. He has brought and defended claims involving closely held companies through expedited, high-pressure motion practice, and he represents receivers through the long tail of the work that follows: operating the entity, litigating with holdover management, and pursuing the claims that fund a distribution to creditors.

Investigations and Asset Tracing
Recovery starts with knowing where the money went — and who helped it get there. Dylan brings an investigative mindset to every fiduciary and fraud matter, running deep factual investigations into the principals, insiders, and affiliated entities behind a scheme. He traces the flow of funds, reconstructs suspect transactions, unwinds transfers, and maps the network of shell companies, affiliates, and straw parties used to disguise ownership and hide value. That groundwork is what separates a claim that sounds good on paper from one that actually results in a check.

Alter Ego, Veil-Piercing, and Reaching Hidden Assets
Dylan is a practiced hand at the theories used to reach assets that have been deliberately placed beyond a creditor’s grasp — alter ego and corporate veil-piercing, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and constructive trust. When a defendant hides behind a wall of entities or shuttles assets to a friendlier name the day before judgment, these are the tools that tear that wall down, and Dylan knows how to build the factual and legal record to make them stick. He pairs them with the document-intensive discovery and e-discovery required to prove concealment, control, and intent.

Range and Results
Dylan represents individuals, closely held and publicly traded companies, investors — including in the cannabis and EB-5 spaces — and government entities. He has tried cases to verdict, obtained injunctions, and managed international arbitrations and mediations running in parallel with courtroom litigation. His clients value not only his results but his judgment: he tells them what a case is really worth, what it will take to win, and how to get there efficiently.

An economist by training before he was a lawyer, Dylan brings unusual analytical firepower to damages, valuation, and the follow-the-money analysis at the heart of complex commercial disputes. It is a combination — rigor plus courtroom instinct — that has made him a trusted advocate in some of Nevada’s most demanding business litigation.
