We regularly work with federally recognized Indian tribes, including tribal councils and government leaders, as well as tribal holding companies, tribal business boards of directors, and business executives. We provide them with advice and counsel covering a wide range of issues, including governance matters, social programs, and business operations. Tribal clients regularly acknowledge that our experience in working with non-tribal businesses and governments for more than a decade uniquely positions us to deliver practical solutions that are sound from both legal and cultural perspectives.
Some of the specific areas that we focus on include:
- Tribal Law/Code Development and Administration
- General Counsel to Tribal Councils and Governing Bodies
- Fee to Trust Applications
- Tribal Business Management
- Facilitation of Government-to-Government Relations (Tribal, County, State, Federal levels)

- Tribal Social Welfare Program Development and Administration
- Constitutional Reorganization
- Enrollment Matters
- Cultural Repatriation and Monitoring
