Indian tribes have significant legal, economic, and cultural impacts throughout the West. Our Indian law attorneys have developed one of the most sophisticated practices of its kind in the region. Our attorneys represent a broad range of tribes and tribal business enterprises, including a number of tribal casinos and casino regulatory agencies. We also counsel non-Indian clients seeking to do business on Indian reservations. Our Indian law practice emphasizes economic development transactions, including Indian gaming, as well as complex issues involving tribal sovereignty, jurisdiction and tax questions. Our attorneys are also engaged in litigating these and other matters in federal, state and tribal courts.
Representative Indian law matters include negotiating and documenting multi-million dollar tribal casino financings and negotiating leases for various commercial developments on Indian reservations, including power plants, shopping centers and golf courses. Our attorneys also draft tribal codes and ordinances, as well as organize tribal business entities, including telephone companies and economic development agencies. For many years, we have represented tribes in federal court litigation involving substantial Indian land claims in states such as New York.
