Sovereignty

Tribes are domestic dependent nations. They have inherent power to govern their members and territory.

Jurisdiction

Determining who has the power to hear a case (Tribe vs. State vs. Feds) is often the first major legal fight.

Sovereign Immunity

Tribes cannot be sued unless they agree to it. We know how to draft waivers that protect your business interests.
